Getting There …
I can now log in from more than one computer, this is progress! I know a blog without photos is like a maxed out credit card - no fun at all, but life continues to be insane here at the ranch and what spare time I have has gone into actual knitting.
This past weekend we celebrated Alex’s first birthday at his cousin’s house (Patrick is one week younger than Alex so we had a joint party.) Last night, after months of “cruising” Alex took his first real steps. We’ve thought he was days away from walking for months now, but since he’s been practicing so much he seems to have gotten his balance set before letting go so he doesn’t have those Frankenstein arms that little kids have when they are learning to walk. Once he figures out he can pick up a toy and carry it, it should make life with big sister Cate a bit more exciting, as he can now protect his toys a bit better.
My work life is a bit like Alex’s walking, every day it seems we are just days away from making a big splash. My billable hours have crept up so I am now squeezing in about 30 hours a week with just 8 hours of childcare ~ no more nap time knitting for me.
But I have found time at the end of the day to work a few rows on a couple of projects. I finished my first scarf! I used some hot pink yarn I picked up in Maine to make the ever popular MultiDirectional Scarf . Just as I was getting bored with it, Cate asked if it was for her. I put it over her neck, checked the lenght and cast off. “Oh Yes Sweetie, I had you in mind the whole time!”
Still on the needles for Cate are a second sock and a vest version of the Kristin’s amazing Bulky Baby Pullover. I am making it into a stockinette vest with a start stitch pattern for the bottom and armholes.
Also, in case you missed pictures from my brief typepad vacation, I am working on a shawl made up with this yarn. I am loving this, the way the Interlacement’s New York ribbon yarn slides through my fingers, they way the bamboo knits up and the color combinations are exquisite, I don’t think I’ve knit anything green and these colors are really working for me.
The kidlets have finished their morning sippy cups and are demanding my attention. Have a great day everyone.
