My Baby holding A Baby

By -
 

Hmmm, wonder what Zach's doing at yesterday's family party. 

Oh, he's googling baby stuff...
NOT.

I plopped my niece's new little one in his arms. 

Miss Emma Rose to be specific
is darling in his arms. 
Suffice to say she did not spew any baby goop on him. 
Then I promptly stole her for myself, which was the ploy all along.
I knit another hat this weekend. 
Cascade 220 sale wool from my LYS .
Simple pattern from Knit'N Style.
Encore worsted pattern.
I changed the cast on count to 80 down from 88. 
Glad I did.

I'm still working on the never ending baby blanket. 

I need to cast on for an alternate knit though.
The blanket is getting heavy. 
Hmm, fingerless next? 
Not sure.  

How was your weekend?

I remember before my kids had kids that it was fun to plop a baby in their arms to see what they would do. Handsome son and cute baby! I crocheted on my neverending wedding afghan. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Zach is so handsome! And holding a baby...too cute. Kathy, that's a great knitted hat; looks like it fits perfectly! I'm knitting an afghan... and it's starting to get heavy. It's almost to warm to work on.

Darling baby...and your baby is quite handsome. I spent part of my weekend cleaning. Every fall I get the urge to deep clean. I took a break Saturday afternoon to go to my knitting group.
Nice hat...you must be a fast knitter or you have a longer attention span than me if you knit it all in a weekend.

We had an amazingly busy weekend.......football and then a day at the beach. I'm really feeling the results of being TOO busy.

Zach and the baby are ADORABLE!

Someone is so ready to be a grandma! Just look at that precious bow. What a cutie. How do you manage to get those hats done so quickly?

Your son is a stunner, and what a cute baby, I'd steal her for myself too.

Zach looks pretty comfortable with that precious bundle in his arms.

I'm knitting a never-ending shawl, but it's a pleasant knit.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
