Going a little bonkers lately

Published by whichy at 9:38 am under Knitting

Well as usual I’ve said yes to way more things than I really have time for.  And of course many of the things I have said yes to are all crashing onto my calendar in a fairly short space of time. Of Course many of the things I have said yes to were things I *really* wanted to do, and many of the things I said yes to were for other folks. BLah Blah BLah  Whine Whine Whine. But it does keep me busy, and I like to be busy.  Although sometimes —- sleep is good too. (BAH! SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!!)

I finished my Sockapalooza socks almost on time, and they have been mailed out a bit late - but not egregiously so. And now I have to finish the baby blanket for my nephew Liam (to be born next month), and get some socks for Rowan, so he isn’t terminally jealous of his new baby brother - especially because I am NOT going to get his Teddy Bear done in time for his birthday.  Rowan has picked out the yarn he wants his socks to be in - Garish isn’t it? Also I think he’ll get a pair in STR Lover’s Leap (red) if there is any left when I am done with the baby blanket. Red is his favorite color - the color of Elmo.

    ouch.
    those socks should be knit in low light only.
    And is it only a month until Liam arrives? and his sweater is still in balls of yarn, not on the needles, in my knitting bag?
    Shit.
    er, ahem, I meant phooey.
    Does this mean I must also make something for Rowan to avoid jealous fits? hmmmmm…
    Why are all the babies in my life due in a month??

    yeah Sept. 12 is the day they “pop the sunroof” on Erin. I do not think that YOU need to make him something as well.

    Its just that I have been knitting for Liam in Rowan’s presence for a while (as has Erin and other family members), and so I want to be able to have something to give to him when I come down for Liam’s birth. I know everyone will have shiny for Liam, but I don’t want R to feel left out.
