This and That

I was mainly going to write about baby blankets, but first up… did you see this? To quote, “I guess my ‘temporary leave’ from designing is officially over.” YAY!

So over the weekend a certain individual with some acreage made a full disclosure and came clean. I’m so excited that someone (besides me) is knitting for the little guy. Especially since all I’ve done to date is a pair of socks (I have a second pair on the needles, but I’m missing some red Baby Ull to finish up). So, the question is, will this impact my plans? Can a baby have too many log cabin themed blankets? My gut feeling is no. The designs are different (but from the same section of the book) so I think it will be fine. But I think doing similar designs in similar colors might be pushing it a bit too much. So while MBB7 won the poll with 45% of the votes, I’m going to go with another combination. I’m thinking MBB6 right now.

I want to knit for my little guy, I really do.  But I’m having some problems actually doing it.  I’m not sure why.  When Catherine was expecting Noah, I started his baby blanket three days before she even found out and I had bought the yarn months before.  I did two pairs of booties and a little sweater all before he was three months old (one pair of booties and the blanket were finished before he was even born).  But I guess for mine, I’m just having a hard time believing that this is all happening.  Most of the time I don’t even feel pregnant and I’m 7th month along already!  It is hard to believe that the 4d photos are actually of a baby I’m carrying.  I guess by the time I actually believe I’m pregnant, I won’t be any more!  Every week I read up about what is happening with the baby and what my body is doing.  I’ve been reading a lot more of things like you are probably feeling big and starting to feel like you want to have this baby already.  Even my OB asked if I was feeling big last week.  But I’m not.  I’m not ready to have this baby.  He can stay in and cook for as long as he wants!
