Still Here
Originally, the plan was to put myself on a yarn diet. I didn't buy any new yarn for 2 whole months and used what I had in my stash. Among other things, I've completed what I call the "Big Button Baby Sweater:"
Right now, I'm finishing up a minisweater in Lamb's Pride, Orange You Glad color (slightly edited to account for my not being 6 ft. tall), left over from a three-generations-of-Bears-fans-hats project. I've really tried to be good about yarn purchases, but Q and I were up around my LYS...so that plan sort of went down the toilet. However, I've got a list of things that I'd like to make to decrease the stash:
*white baby sweater for friends who had their second child this past week
*felted mittens out of Lamb's Pride odds and ends
*3 or so random baby bibs
*lace pattern scarf
His Honor has taken to waking us up at 6:30 every morning, crawling into bed with us with his collection of Uglydolls and orangutan that he's had since birth, and kicking me out of bed to take a shower. I have to admit that he is correct that I do need to leave that warm mass of jersey and 200-count cotton, but having a child direct you to go take a shower every morning is really something else.
