the blue blog archives: help, my knitting is trapped under the baby!

And I couldn't even knit when I was away from the computer at knitting group. I brought the baby, of course, and for the first time ever, she slept through knitting group.

Unfortunately, my knitting was stuck underneath her in the stroller! Note to self: take knitting out first before walking baby around to lure her to sleep. After letting her sleep for a half hour, I risked it and jiggled and jostled her around finally succeeding in slipping my knitting out of the basket underneath her. And what do I find? Well, I always keep the knitting bag packed with one easy project (my latest hugs and kisses sweater) that I can pick up at anytime. The last time I worked on it though, I finished up the ball of yarn that was in there. Did I remember to put a new ball in the bag. Oh no, I didn't! So no yarn in the bag. And no knitting. Grrrr.

But when knitting stuck under the baby gets you down, the knitting stuck on the baby can always cheer you up again.

She is SO beautiful and precious. I wish I could sniff her.

(Is that weird? Babies smell so good! Even better than yarn.)

I did that all the time with my book that I would pack for the sleep walk. This was prior to my knitting addiction.

She's a lil angel! I like her expression with her modeling her bonnet.

Looks like she's a yawner! Sleepy girl! And love those booties -- gotta make me some! What's the pattern?

Posted by: Mary at May 7, 2007 3:35 PM

So cute! Hope the knitting experience goes more smoothly next time.

Forgetting something (yarn, needles, what have you) is usually my sign that it is time to buy something new! Start a new project (another new project).

Hopefully you had a good time chatting at least.

What a cutie pie. Make sure you pop that extra ball in right now so you dont forget for next time. Love the Mary Janes, so cute.

Posted by: Sue at May 7, 2007 7:12 PM

Ah, she's catching flies! What a sweety!

How adorable - she seems to change almost daily!! I got Charmed Knits today and am busy devouring it page by page -- pretty tasty patterns in there!! Thanks for all you do for your family, the sock-knitters across the world, and your reading public. God bless!!

Wow, she's so beautiful. She makes me want another baby and then I remember that I have a 9 month old at home who is a handful.

Posted by: Karen at May 8, 2007 4:27 AM

That is one of the most perfect babies I've seen. And I love her bonnet and mary jane booties ... too scrumptious even for words!

Worth missing knitting over.
