starting Although baby L is letting me get a little knitting done these days (a very little!), I can't seem to finish anything. All I manage to do is start quickie projects. After starting (and not finishing) the anime hat, I decided to start a hat for a classmate of the boys' whose mom just had another baby. I figured the Last-Minute Knitted Gifts picture removed at request of store owner I spied some pretty pretty Summer Tweed that would be perfect for the hat.
Wonder if I'll ever finish it. posted by alison at 11:13 am | in

Just, um, make it in a toddler size. Then you'll have it finished in time. I'm really impressed at the amount you're able to get done with a one month old. Posted by: Emily at April 17, 2007 11:54 AMLove the picture of you and her! Finishing -- all it needs is the i-cord drawstring, right? Love that hat.... Posted by: Mary at April 17, 2007 11:55 AMAwww, I think I'll be able to forgive such a sweet and adorable little baby girl for impeding your knitting process ... she is just darling. Posted by: Samantha at April 17, 2007 12:25 PMshe is so cute! and she looks like a doll on your lap like that! just wanna snuggle her! What a little cutie. I'm sure you'll finish it. When is the big question, but who cares with such a sweetie to cuddle? Posted by: Jennifer at April 17, 2007 1:50 PMHmmm...I keep starting and not finishing things too. I don't have an adorable baby around to distract, so what's my excuse? Posted by: seejayneknit at April 17, 2007 1:58 PMI constantly had to remind myself (and still do--my kids are 4 and 2) that they will never be so little again. It seems to help me enjoy the 'here and now' more instead of wishing away their toddler years. Not that you are doing that! But I felt that for me it was easy to. She looks very sweet and peaceful. Posted by: Jen at April 17, 2007 2:08 PMYou guys look so very sweet together. What a great photo! Hope you get in some knitting time edgewise... ~gabriella :) Posted by: gabriella at April 17, 2007 2:17 PMHooray for sleeping babies! I love that Summer Tweed hat. Posted by: Brynne at April 17, 2007 2:22 PMGosh you look happy with that little one draped across you. Amazing how you can worry about getting them to sleep, and then once they nod off, they'll sleep anywhere! Posted by: LaurieM at April 17, 2007 2:36 PMoh so cute! I just can't get over how cute she was laying there all draped over you :) Posted by: Dani at April 17, 2007 3:00 PMOhmygoodness she's just adorable! I miss that age where they'll sleep anywhere. Posted by: Jackie at April 17, 2007 3:32 PMShe looks so comfy! I feel like doing that right now at my desk; think anyone would notice? Posted by: Julie at April 17, 2007 3:41 PMI just love how babies can sleep anywhere and in any position! If I slept like that I wouldn't be able to walk for a week! Posted by: MommyknitsJen at April 17, 2007 5:18 PMAwww, that picture is just precious. Knitting, shmitting...you have a snuggly warm sleepy baby :-) Posted by: Kathy at April 17, 2007 6:44 PMNow I know what to do with my leftover summer tweed! Baby L has the right idea there. Blissful sleep! Posted by: Patti purls at April 17, 2007 7:43 PMHaving just had a babe myself on 3/26, (and it was #3, too), let me say this: our babies are so small for such a short time. They only ask to be cuddled and loved, nursed and rocked for a mere instant of their lives. The way I see it - knitting be damned, if it means holding and cuddling. The knitting will always be there. The wee one will get bigger, learn the word "no", become a teenager and refuse to be seen in public wearing any of my handknits. :) That said, it's been nice to begin knitting again after I took a couple of weeks off for a babymoon. Not getting much done, but knitting, as EZ says, is so good for the spirit. Good luck. Posted by: Alison at April 17, 2007 8:17 PMAwwwww look how cute!! Seeing your little beanie, makes me ALMOST want another one *giggle* ALMOST!! Posted by: DebbieKnitter at April 17, 2007 9:19 PMSleeping baby in lap. Love that. Posted by: Sonya at April 17, 2007 11:36 PMOh, you'll finish it. You just need a little more to go. Baby L looks so cute in your lap. Posted by: Oiyi at April 18, 2007 1:36 AMWOW...good balancing...since it's only a hat and you are 'wonder' knitter, I'm sure it will get done. Posted by: Orli at April 18, 2007 5:18 AMCongrats again on a beautiful baby. I love Black Sheep- a favorite store. BTW- how did my hometown look? Haven't been there in 2 years. Take care. Posted by: Lisa C in TN at April 18, 2007 8:47 AMi love that sleeping position :) Posted by: gleek at April 18, 2007 10:51 AM |
children's cotton hat would be simple enough for me to get done quickly. Wee one and I went out to
