I've got this sudden, out-of-the-blue, urge to knit baby things. Booties, hats, sweaters, whatever. Someone else apparently has that same urge, because I couldn't find a single baby knitting book at the library. Then I Googled for patterns until my brain was numb, and never found anything close to what I had in mind, before I realized that there was probably something in the box of old Workbasket magazines I got at a garage sale last summer. So after going through them and tearing out everything I might possibly want to knit, I'm swimming in patterns. Lots of different baby sweaters -- including one that's exactly what I wanted! Socks & mittens & hats. Shells, and sweaters, and car coats! A cabled shrug that I must knit to wear on my body right this second... Now I've got to figure out which of these projects I can knit with the yarn I've already got. Definitely some baby stuff...and a pair of mittens...and the cute little pillbox hat...

As for my yarn diet, I've finished the little red tank, which fits like a dream and looks really cute except for the side seams. And the shoulder shawl. And the cabled hat. (I made cables that twist mostly the way they're supposed to and sort of almost understood what I was doing -- yippee!) And the cutest little pair of booties made with Red Heart Teri. Five projects -- but I also went to Walmart and brought home a bunch of new yarn, so now I've decided to do five more projects to make up for it. Then I get to shop!
