Yesterday I bought a knitting magazine while picking up the gift for the baby shower. It was not a good one, but it did have some ideas and ads for places to visit on the web for patterns. So not a total loss. Meijer did not have any of the Bernat Cottontots. I had wanted to pick up another of the white and one of the blue. I will have to look again somewhere else. Living way out here it is difficult to get to places that have a variety of yarns.
While thumbing through that magazine, I found a knitters name and looked her up on the net. She has a blog, http://alison.knitsmiths.us/, and it was fun to look through. She has some patterns on it too. I, being the HP fan, am interested in her new book due out, "Charmed Knits:". I'll keep watching and hope I see some sneak previews.
Today I finished up the baby sweater and added a picot edge to the neckline, because it looked a bit plain for the lacey pattern in the sweater. I looked in my stash for buttons (way too long I looked) and did not find any of those either! One more item for the list. I have a bit of the sweater yarn left and I started the bonnet this afternoon. I will get some photos and place them here along with the pattern. I want to call Cindy and ask if they know the gender of the grandbaby for which the shower is next weekend. Then I can look up ideas for that baby. I still have D's socks on the needles. One is done and the other is to the heel.
Today is the last day of the long weekend for me. J is gone to the office for the day and there is no school today. I am trying to take advantage of that but it is not going as well as I'd like. How can a person put pressure on themselves to relax?! I have the laundry, plus the laundry from the flood, and picking up allllll the stuff I let pile up while I did nothing for the last few days, and...
Enough of that!
