HERE HE IS!
Five days old and already been out shopping, to the Dr. for the first checkup, over to Grandma and Grandpa's house and to Starbucks for Chai Lattes. No wonder he's all tuckered out. Note - the socks fit but it won't be long before the little guy needs bigger ones.
His mom may not be a knitter but she definitely takes good photographs!

LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!

(All those people who are thinking that the madness started long ago, can just stop thinking that right now!)

I realise that I have signed up for not one but two sock exchanges. And I know that I have a new Grandson who needs some new cozy sweaters. And I know I have more than one shawl that is waiting for me to finish it BUT another Mystery Stole is starting. More information is here Pink Lemon Twist . I heard the call of the pattern and felt the urge to join. Does anyone else suffer from the need to start a new project? Care to join me in my downward spiral into knitting Insanity? I will bring my mystery shawls to Knitting Circle tonight at Make 1. What's one more project?

CAN YOU GUESS?? Carson Ray decided to finally make his appearance at 4:20 this morning. Mom, Dad, and Baby are all doing fine. I'm off to the hospital to meet my Grandson and to take lots of pictures!

PINK OR BLUE? WHAT'S A KNITTER TO DO? We are still waiting for the Grand baby to make his/her appearance and until that happens, my knitting of gender specific sweaters is on hold. Since the knitting needles were lying idle and calling out to me to knit cute baby stuff, I had to cast on this.
This cute little sweater in a neutral aqua is probably too girly for a boy and not pink enough for a girl but I'm liking the pattern so far. I might even get it finished before baby arrives and I start knitting pink or blue.
Monkey socks.
These will likely be my exchange socks for the Gillihook Heritage Knitting Guild sock exchange. Knitting them both at once seems to be the best way of making sure they are the same since I have modified the pattern slightly. It will also ensure that they both get finished before I switch gears to knit mega numbers of baby socks. (Do I sounded excited and impatient yet?)
