My Ramblings

It's been a while since I last blogged.  I have been busy with regular things, I guess.  I have completed two caps for the little one, though one I'm not keeping, so I guess it's not really for my little one, and I have started on a third.  I think it may be the last for a bit so that I can do a different type of knitting project.  I may try some booties.  And those little hand muffs so they don't scratch themselves.  I have also started to think about Christmas presents for my family and friends.  I have tried to think of something nice my sister would like.  She has been very generous with baby gifts already, and I think a nice hand-made something would be a good thank you.  I just don't know what to make yet.  I think a blanket would take too long, though if I used a chunky yarn and my biggest needles, it may not be too bad.  Maybe I'll save that for a Christmas gift if it seems to take too long.  The only thing about a blanket is that I don't really know how to follow a pattern well, and plain ole stockingette stitch or garter stitch is boring probably on something that large.  Maybe not with a cool yarn and fringe on the ends.  I shall see her in about a week and a half, I believe, and so I'd like to have it completed by then.  We'll see.  I'll try to keep you updated.

If you use a nifty yarn, like a chunky or knobby type, and very large needles, the stitches don't look boring at all. It's kind of lacy and fun.

There are also a lot of fringe type yarns that could be interesting, OR you could try knitting two yarns at once for fun (green and black, or red and white).

Have fun knitting!

I couldnt knit to save my life but you sound like you have a lot of fun preparing new things for your baby. The only crafty thing I do is scrap booking. I have a lovely sister also who is my best friend. Looking forward to hearing about what you make her.
