So last time I wrote I was going to cast on some wavy scarf, but I knit about 10 rows of 240 stitches and quickly cast off. It's a great idea, but it still needs some tinkering and probably better yarn.
So, back to Hubby's socks, which are almost done. But then I actually had an idea for something for our new baby boy. I told my sister that I had an idea for an intarsia vest. She said, "Don't start another project, Sarah!" Did I listen to her? Of course not. It was Saturday evening and Jeff was at Sac Brew Fest, so I cast on while I was on the phone with her. Six hours later it looked like this.
I even got quite a bit further the next day - up to the shoulders - but then I didn't like how the checkerboard was too tight and squeezed the chest in too much. So I ripped out the whole thing to the first teal line. Oh, boy, am I glad I did. I went with more of a castle watchtower look and I think it turned out great. I was planning for it to fit a 9 month old, but it may be more like a 6 month old. I finished it last night.
Don't worry, I made a slit at the back with a button hole since Hubby and I knew that no little baby head would ever fit through that tiny little opening at the top. Uh-oh! what does that say about how that little head is going to fit coming out of me!! Only about six weeks until I'm due now and even with 12 weeks worth of Bradley Method Classes I'm still scared out of my mind about trying to push this baby out!
Anyway, if anyone wants to see how 34 weeks pregnant looks on me, here it is (photo taken by June Bug).
Hubby just left for work and he said, "Have fun knitting today!" If only I had something fun and exciting to knit...wait, I've got a cousin-in-law due to have twin girls this summer. I better go start hunting for a pattern!
Oh, and I've been craving cake, so I actually may do some baking. But in my current "not interested in cooking at all" pregnant state, they'll be from a box mix. I know, yuck :( Maybe I'll make my own frosting from scratch.
