don't answer that!
i'm home sick today. apparently, i can go to work sick. i can go to work pregnant. but i cannot go to work pregnant AND sick. let me tell you how impossible that is... pretty damn impossible. last week i rushed rushed rushed to get two projects finished up at work so that i could have an easy last week this week. then saturday hit and i started sneezing. i thought that it was just allergies but now that i'm still stuffy and miserable two days later, i realize that i caught a cold. i HAVE to get better before the peanut decides to show herself. can you imagine going into labor while having a cold? i'm trying not to.
so, here's a quick and mostly photographic update of the state of things before i hop in bed for a nap.
the brooklyn handspun trifecta is done.
the trifecta is complete!
yarn: brooklyn handspun superwash soft spun sock yarn in winter's calling
needles: 2.5mm addi turbos, magic loop and 3.25mm addi turbos for the hat
pattern: none for the socks and mittens. the hat i used this bonnet pattern from hello yarn
because i know that you all love the care bears, here's sunshine bear being a good sport and modeling them for us.
KP asked if i was playing dress-up. i'm glad i'm having a girl! thanks to veronique for letting me use her icord maker for the mittens!
this is how the peanut's room is looking.
progress on the peanut's room
pretty messy, but almost there. the crib (on the right) is holding lots of clothing and other assorted baby crap until i can get around to sorting and unloading it. on the floor, you'll see the flor tiles i bought. i love them! they go perfect with the room and make it feel much warmer in there. that cane rocking chair was a gift from my parents and i'm looking forward to sitting in it and looking out the window nursing the peanut. it was a little hard on the bum so i constructed a VERY simple pillow for it out of some cute bee fabric i had in the stash.
and now that i'm home sick, i've started up some new projects to keep me going.
monkey socks using some lovely koigu that sandra bought for me for my birthday last year.
monkey beginnings
they are actually much further along than this given that i've done nothing but knit, watch james bond movies, and mouth-breathe for the past 48 hours.
and my dad's mittens using leftover chocolate brown debbie bliss merino aran (no pictures yet).
ok, just a few last pictures to send you on your way. i got some lovely gifties in the mail late last week. knits for the peanut!!
a lovely hat and sock set from danielle.
and i'm pretty sure this is a baby surprise jacket and some booties from sarah (i miss you sarah!)
thanks ladies! i'm sure the peanut will look smashing in these!
and if you're a battlestar galactica fan and haven't watched last night's epsiode yet, stop reading. dude, i'm sure starbuck is a cylon. one of the final five. my vote is that she wakes up in a bath of goo by the end of the season! all of the dialog in the episode points to it. watch it again if you don't believe me. there's no way that leoban could know everything that he knows about her and then encourage her to die without knowing that she'd be reborn. she even said to lee, "they're waiting for me on the other side." uh huh. cylon. i'm loving this season!
