I finally have computer time – Yay!

I finished my baby blanket. It’s really soft and cozy.

Stewart also gave knitting a try. He’s really good with knots (thanks to Boy Scouts) and so he picked it up faster than I did. He decided to make himself a beanie. He didn’t really have a pattern, so it turned out a lot smaller than he expected. Okay, a lot smaller. It just barely fits little Stew.

He did a more difficult stitch with the beanie and while watching TV forgot to switch back and forth between the two different stitches and a fun ring appeared towards the top, which then made it go to a point. Since he was almost done, he didn’t want to start over (I don’t blame him) so this is the fun result.




It’s really like 3 hats in one depending on how you shape it.










A few more pictures of Stew. He’s 2 weeks now.












Evie doesn't doesn't really like suckers, but she sure enjoys unwrapping them. (The crazy hair and poka dots on her face are courtesy of Grandma Patsy)
