Yay for new yarn! Found a sale going on at crafts, etc online, and got lots of cheap yarn. Mostly baby colors, or stuffed animal colors. I'm planning to make a blanket like the one for the Blair's baby, only with hearts and xo cables instead of boats and rope, so I got lots of pink and some white for that. Chris loves the little stuffed animal patterns I've been looking at; so far I've made an owl from And so to Bed... and a penguin from Lion Brand free patterns. I've got lots of fun colors to make other ones though. Next I'm supposed to make a giraffe.
I've got two sets of booties going right now; one is Saartje's Bootees, which I'm using NaturallyCaron.com's bamboo mix for, and have one little bootee done. The other is the Cuff Bootees from Debbie Bliss' book, Simply Baby. I'm not sure I like them; we'll see how they look on baby. All I have left of those is the seam on the second one.
Naturally, I have way to many projects going at the same time. I'm halfway down the leg of a sock for Chris; hate using the tiny sock yarn and needles, so I put off working on them. I will definitely have to finish them sometime though; he's getting jealous of all the baby knitting I've been doing. And I accidently felted the only thing I've made him, his big blanky, so I feel bad. :( Hopefully I'll finish them before baby comes.
Met more neighbors last night - Trudy and Jack I think? They have a 2 year old girl and a 2 DAY old little baby boy. He's precious! There's a garage sale in the cul-de-sac this morning, but I don't think I have much cash, so I probably won't even go over there. Maybe they'll still be open when Chris gets back.

Did the felted blanket not turn out? Too small?
Always check out garage sales even if you don't have cash...you can ask them to hold the stuff if they won't take a check or if it's just a quarters worth.
The animals must be fun to make?!
Is there a fun knitting magazine you like?
Its kind of like a rug - too thick to be a throw blanket, and too small for an afghan. :( We put it over my chest and use it like a bench seat though.
The animals are really fun, once they start taking shape :). I haven't found a knitting magazine...
