Lots of Lovely Things

Well, I just realized that most of April has vanished, and I am now "full term" which means that the baby could come any time in the next six weeks (not an exact science). I have finished all my work projects, and have been nesting like mad, which mostly means starting projects like crazy. The pink dress is almost done, and I will get to make the hat next. :) I really love the Drops patterns. I went to BB's and got some lovely and amazing alpaca to make my nursing poncho. I couldn't resist it with the sale and all. So, we will see if I can make something lovely for my self out of them. Sylvan also found something for the new baby: She insists that it should be a pillow, and that the car buttons are necessary. :) We'll see what I can do with it. I also have all this other yarn that I bought thinking that I might use it for baby things. I still think that it's fun, but it feels to bright to knit with right now. I feel like I have been dropped into a lake of calm. Peter says that he can remember this happening the last month or so last time too. We are just waiting now, and knitting, and sewing. I have sewn a bunch of things, so maybe I'll post about those tomorrow. I also had a lovely baby shower today, and got all kinds of wonderful things. I will try and get some pics of that too.

Alpaca Love

I love the Misti Alpaca Sport weight that I got for the baby set I'm making for the new baby! I want to knit only in alpaca. This is the pattern that I'm working on, and here is a picture of my progress.
