I finished up the February Baby Sweater, and it’s so adorable I just love it. It’s knit in Rowan Purelife Organic Cotton DK. I believe I used 1.5 balls but it’s hard to recall as I wasn’t good about keeping track.

Some of you long time readers may recall I am not a huge fan of cotton, this did not bother my fingers at all and it’s 100% cotton. Normally 100% dries out my hands and sort of feels like scratching fingernails on a chalkboard to knit for some reason. It has a very subtle variance in the color that doesn’t create stripes but just adds a more natural feel to the yarn over all. I am very happy with it and now want to get loads of it. I’ll have to keep my eye on WEBS to see if it ever goes on sale (it is discountable up to 25% on their site though!).

This is the baby’s first official FO! I am so behind how far I was with knitting for BG, but my knitting patterns have been distracting me. I want to crochet her a baby blanket in a ripple stitch, and then the newborn pattern I dreamed up is still itching at my fingers, so ready and wanting to knit it.

Just for fun I put it on Amelia and then included myself in the shot to document 27 weeks.

I am now working on another pattern, about 1/4th done after 2 nights work so it should come along nicely this week. It’s a quick knit at a large gauge (17 over 4″). I can’t believe its mid-may already and I am now officially in the 3rd Trimester of this pregnancy. The husbeast and I spent 1.5 hours in the garage Saturday sorting things into boxes and making trash piles with loads of progress, now he has a space to move the 10 full bins out of HIS office (he packed up his entire closet and all his computer/office supplies) into that space. Once he does that we can start to work on emptying his 1 dresser, moving that out and moving 1 of his computer desks out. If we can empty the room and just have his 1 computer desk then we can finally move the baby’s furniture in there and put it together (matches BGs set). I am anxious to get the walls painted and the larger furniture into the room.

Here is BG after she woke up Saturday; she saw dad was wearing a Bandana so she wanted to put one on too. She looks really big in this picture for some reason. She has certainly gotten taller but she’s still a wee thing compared to others her age. She caught a stomach bug last Wednesday and it was still looming last night (uck) and I am hoping she is feeling better in a few days. No more ear infections, so overall she’s a very pleasant sick person! As long as she can go outside into the backyard she is a happy camper.
