Knit-tastic

I've realized that I have been blogging through blogger for over 5 years. My earlier blogs are a little depressing so this past year I recreated a blog. I'm not much of an avid blogger, just find that there are these points in my life where there urge to blog comes over me and the feeling of not having a choice in inevitable. :)

There are few extracurricular things in my life that tend to stick, but one that hasn't lost its place for over 2 years now is knitting. I absolutely love knitting, everything about it really. Being that I have a toddler too, I can't knit as much as I would like too, but I'm still finding that some projects do get finished with a little extra time. I finished up a pair of socks for William that he will be able to wear through the next year or two. Mostly winter socks because they are kind of wooly and the poor kid would suffer if i put those suckers on his feet in the summer. I enjoyed making them so much, I started on another pair and finished up of them yesterday. The yarn was supposed to make a rainbow sock, but because I am making a small person sock, it didnt quite turn out that way. The colors split into a set of 3 and kind of twisted around the sock. The skien came with a smaller skien of the red solid for the toe and heel. I figured I would make them with the solid parts, being that I've never done it before. I really like the way they turned out.

I took a break from making the other one and started on a pair for the new baby. After knitting a toddler pair, it felt weird to knit a much smaller pair (intended for 3/6 months). I don't know what it feels like to have a small baby anymore. :( William is growing too fast. So, knitting little baby stuff is going to be fun. My aunt is having a girl, so I get to at least work on girly stuff. I havent been able to do that yet. All the people i knew this past year who had babies all had boys! It's and epidemic!! haha. No doubt my sister, who has a baby due in November, is going to have a boy too. Her husband comes from a long line of 8 boys and undoubtly it will be his genetics that will determine the gender. Me, on the otherhand, feels like I am going to have another boy. At one point it felt like it may be a girl, but I dont know anymore. We'll see in August. I'm so excited.

Well, when these baby socks are finished, I'll put up a picture and we can see how small they are. :):)
