the blue blog archives: a brand new bag

I am so bored with these Christmas gifts, but they have got to be done this week, so on I go. I've finished another pair of baby tiger socks and have begun some matching mittens. Man, will I be ready for something new (or old) in January! In an attempt to console myself, I bought some more yarn for yet another project. I picked up a bag of Rowan wool/cotton in a beautiful brown for a vest for my husband. I'm so excited to try out this yarn, as I have seen so many other knitbloggers make beautiful garments with it.

And unrelated to knitting, but too funny not to include, the boys got some cute little baby backpacks from Oma for Nikolaus (December 6th, when German kids get little stocking stuffer gifties) and they just love them! They demand to wear the backpacks ALL DAY LONG. Sillies!

Alison--since I have had the privilege to watch the twins climb all over chairs, I have to say that thier attachment to these backpacks only confirm my suspicions that they are future mountain climbers!

Very sweet. It might be tricky at naptime and bedtime!

Hi Alison,

My twin boys just turned 27 (years) - enjoy your time with them.

Last year I finally found the 3/4 completed cable pullovers I started for them when they were 2! Guess I will finish them up for any future grandchildren.
