Bub stuff

More baby stuff! I'm done now though...my mom yelled at me because she doesn't think the baby will need any more handknits. Um, seriously? Babies get changed like 10 times a day, so I think we're still short a few...

Debbie Bliss Ruffle Edge Cardigan sans Ruffled Edges. I couldn't find any ruffles that were small enough to put on this sweater, and it doesn't really need them anyway. It does need buttons though, which I will put on...eventually. The color didn't come out well in this picture - it's a nice light green, but not mint.

Baby Drawstring Pants from Last Minute Knitted Gifts sans Drawstring. When I see how big the kiddo's waist will be when she's big enough to fit into these pants, I'll put in elastic and sew the waistband over. The legs have picot edging, which keeps sticking up. It's not cute when the pants are lying on the kitchen table, but would probably be cute on a baby.

Hat for neighbor baby. It's coral, but looks kind of orange in the picture. Perhaps I should stop taking pictures at night on my kitchen table.

I also finished the second Cable and Rib sock from Interweave, but neglected to take a picture of the pair. So, imagine two of these...

Now I started a lacy pattern from Sentational Knitted Socks in Fleece Artist (yummy!) and another Sitcom Chic in, you guessed it, KnitPicks Shine Worsted. I'm not sure how this will work, because the Shine tends to grow in a larger garment, so we'll see.

30 is the new 20

According to Chris, as he is now 30...

The Spider Man has suction cup hands. He's now hanging from our kitchen window. This is a cupcake cake from WalMart - it is SO GOOD. I didn't gain any weight the last time I went to the doctor, but this time around I don't think that will be a problem as I have eaten half of this cake. MMMMMMMMMMM. (But only the blue icing cupcakes, as black icing grosses me out.)

I finished a hooded sweater for Andra - the color is really a coral, but it looks orange in this picture. KnitPicks Shine Worsted again - too bad KnitPicks isn't publicly traded - I'd buy.

I also finished the first in a pair of socks - these are in Mountain Colors Barefoot that I picked up at Maryland Sheep and Wool last year. The pattern is from an Interweave and I think it's one of the Nancy Bush Vintage Sock patterns. I could check that out, but that would mean going downstairs.

Believe it or not, I started and finished another baby sweater from the time I took these pictures (3 guesses what yarn...KnitPicks Shine, you say? Congratulations!) and now that I've actually gotten around to posting them. That's bad, people. I also started a baby hat today and finished it just now for a neighbor-baby. Baby stuff is so nice because it's done almost as soon as you start it!

Pictures of those someday, hopefully before the baby is actually born and old enough to wear the stuff...
