no more baby knits... on to socks

we lost the baby on feb 11th.  enough said.  i put away Elijah and the bolero.  i don't have the strength to finish them now.  maybe someday, for another baby.  so now, it is socks.  again.

i pulled out the yarn i bought in january and found a pattern on line that made sense and finally finished a sock.  i hate it.  it is too short in the foot, the wedge toe makes my feet look witchy, and now i have A sock, half a skein of yarn and don't want to finish the other one.  grr.

i think it is off to my lys to find a project that i actually like, that will challenge me but i know will turn out... i will post sock photos next week... the camera i have doesn't take good yarn photos and the new one won't be here till then...

more.baby.knits

Elijah is going slow. baby brain has kept him in the bag for now because i keep messing up the pattern.  but i am starting this amazing baby sweater and hat tonight.  it was one of those patterns that "called my name"... i can't wait to see my baby Spud in it.



  
the eyelet's on the back are supposed to bring baby good luck!  now, if only i could get gauge!!
