Amelia Update

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about Amelia. She’s growing like a normal 8 month old. She is pulling herself up now like a pro and stands on her own as well. It won’t be long before she starts walking.

She has yet to say mama, but is saying dada and baba all the time. :) She’s finally come around to the puffs and now gets her juice and snack with the rest of the kids in her class at daycare.

Saturday we were playing and she would crawl up to me, pull herself up and give me a big kiss and say muah while doing it. It was the cutest thing. Of course then she proceeded to spit up in my eye! Gross! But I guess that comes with the territory. She seems to get cuter and cuter every day. But maybe it’s just me. ;) She definitely reaches for me when she’s being held by someone else.

We had a great 4th of July and she did so great. She was held and played with by so many people and she was even up way past her bedtime, but she hardly fussed at all. As long as she knew I was there she was fine.

Heel Turn

I’m at the heel turn of the first pedisock. I showed my sister my progress yesterday and she loves it so far. They are going pretty quick since the cuff is only 3″. She pretty much only wears ankle socks. I just have to find time to work on it. I wasn’t able to do any knitting yesterday since I spent the whole day with her (it’s about a 3 hr drive one way). And during the week, I only get maybe 2 hours of knitting time after Amelia goes to bed. So even though it’s a quick knit, it’s taking me a while cause I just don’t get that much time to knit.

I’ve also made some progress on the 2nd sleeve of Amelia’s sweater. I think I’m about 8 inches away from being finished. I’m looking forward to being done, just because it feels so good to finish a project. :)

A Bearclaw Project

I’m nuts! I just ordered enough Jaegar Siena to do the Bear Claw Blanket in the Spring 2005 Issue of Interweave Knits. I’m so looking forward to this project, but I’ll have to wait to start it. I want to get a few promised projects done first. Needing to be finished first are:

  • Amelia’s pinwheel sweater (only 1 sleeve left)
  • Nez’s pedisocks (just cast on)
  • Nez’s afghan (still need to purchase yarn!)
  • Dad’s socks (haven’t started)

I don’t think it will take me too long to finish the sweater and the pedisocks, so the afghan and dad’s socks are probably the ones that will hold me back some. But oh well.

Pedisocks on the Needles

Last night I cast on the pedisocks for my sister. Wow, they are coming along pretty fast. 44 stitches knitting around goes pretty quick. Granted, I had to rip back a few rows, but I think they will go fast. I’m alternating colors every row so that keeps it entertaining enough and since it’s my first time doing colorwork like this, I’m having fun watching the stripes emerge. I really hope my sis likes them too. I’ll get a picture this weekend of my progress.

Pinwheel Sleeve One Finished

Last night I finished the first sleeve of Amelia’s pinwheel sweater. I must say, it looks awfully skinny. I guess all the ribbing will stretch out a little when I block it. I sure hope so. Anyway, today I hope to cast on (read: pick up the stitches) for the second sleeve and be on my way.

What To Do with Pronto

A long time ago, I worked on a cabled shell for my mom using Berroco Pronto. But I didn’t like the cables and I didn’t like how it turned out. Mom didn’t mind so I ripped it back and the yarn has been sitting in the bin for probably a year now. I’ve been wondering what to make with it. I was going to make a sweater, but realized I didn’t have enough yarn. I started looking at the free patterns and I think I have decided to do the Missy jumper. I have enough yarn (even to do the largest size), it’s a simple enough pattern and it will look cute on Amelia.
