SPEECHLESS, ME?

Well, okay, so I'm new at this and to my horror, I find that I am trying to think of things to say. Me. Speechless. There's a switch.

On the knitting front, I now have two projects on the go. Never one to finish one project before picking up another - that makes way too much sense - I have put my lighthouse sweater down because I don't like the way the wool feels and am contemplating doing it with another, less itchy yarn.

Actually, that's an excuse. The yarn's not that itchy. I just wanted to work with baby weight for awhile so I started a blanket for a little bundle of joy that's due in January. Not MY little bundle I am quick to add. Been there. Done that. Got the stretch marks to prove it. One of the ladies at work is expecting and this blanket has actually been commissioned by one of her friends. Yippee - a paid project. Almost the best kind, second only to pro bono for someone in need.

I have to say, I love the way this blanket is working up. I'm doing Ann Norling's "Infant Set II". All of it. Sweater, hat, bootees (might need help with those - never done them before) and the blanket - in white with flecks of light blue and yellow - very pretty. I actually have most of the sweater done. Oops, just admitted to haveing 3 projects on needles...
