This mom knits. I know it's become popular among the younger crowd lately, but I think I may have been ahead of the trend. I learned to knit when I was in 5th grade. That would have made me 10 or 11 years old. Oh, dear Lord that makes me feel old; it was 18 years ago!
My cousin and I have both been working on hats and scarves (crocheting) for the church. They will be donated to children in Appalachia who need warm clothes for the winter. I can usually knit fairly quickly when I'm in a time crunch, but that generally means staying up late at night and/or skipping chores. I do have a larger project in progress right now that is a toddler blanket. No, it isn't for Bailey.
Our neighbors, probably one of the sweetest families I've ever met, are expecting another boy in about a month. They have a 7 year old girl and 6 year old twins, a boy and a girl. I'm so excited for them! I just love babies. I just thought it would be lovely for the new little one to have something hand made just for him. Of course when I started it I didn't know if they were having a boy or a girl so I had to make something gender neutral.
I hate that gender neutral in baby stuff is always pale yellow and green. I looked through all of the baby yarn and had almost settled on a cream and green when I spied a beautiful golden-yellow yarn. It happened to be on the shelf right next to a gorgeous chestnut brown and they just looked magnificent together! So golden-yellow and chestnut brown it is, and I must say, it looks fabulous. My neighbor even said it matched the bedding they found for the crib, a zoo pattern. The only problem is I've only half finished it so I have to get my rear in gear and crank it out before he arrives!
