Upcoming Knittings

Just placed my order at KnitPicks for the yarn for my Next Big Project. Phew! I don't like ordering online; I miss the actual tactile shopping experience. I needed the right amount of specific colours though, so I went for it. The price is pretty good, but without an American address I have to pay for shipping AND duty. And it can take anywhere from 5-14 days. This is going to take some seriously dedicated knitting to get it done by June 16th, so I hope the delivery errs on the side of speedy!

I've ALSO got a queue full of baby things because friends of ours have a baby on the way! Eeeee! I get to knit baby things without having a baby myself! Excellent! Baby things are SO cute. Just look!

Baby Link outfit! I love the bottle holster. (Photo here and pattern here) 

Baby hoodie! (Photo here, pattern here.)

And then there's the multitude of things to put on baby heads! From the darling...

To the ridiculous:
A Brain Slug toque. (Photo here, pattern here)
I am so excited. This baby is going to be a nerd from the outset. And I will probably send it home with something newly-knit every time I babysit.

Babies: awesome, especially when you're not the one having them.
