I'm back, baby! Not with a bang, but a little gurgle. I'll take it, though. Despite knitting my fingers to the nubs lately, I've not finished a blessed thing. My dang project-promiscuity has been kicking in hard lately, and I flit, I float from project to project, a round here, a pattern repeat there. Luckily nature has stepped in and handed me a deadline to finish something, albeit a couple tiny, 30-50-yard somethings.
Embarrassingly, I forgot to take a picture of my latest items! So here's a word picture: two teeny tiny booties in shares of green, pale pink, and bright magenta, with little pops of sky blue here and there, and a little hat to match, with a rolled brim and a little i-cord knotted at that top. Impossibly tiny. Pretty darn cute. They're both for my niece Sadie, who is due any minute now. I do believe every baby deserves to have something handmade for her (or him) before s/he was even born, and this baby is nearly here, so I had to get on the stick(s) and make with the gifts! After a failed attempt at a sweater (somehow the back was only a tiny fraction as wide as the sleeves and front were!) I set my sights appropriately low and went for a wee pair of booties and a hat. I'll try to get a picture of them in use if I'm lucky enough to meet her next week at our family vacation in Ocean City, MD.
Now to plan what I'll be knitting while on vacation!
