the waiting game

Still playing the waiting game around here... One benefit of extra time is finishing up another baby cardigan!

pattern: babe in the woods, by Melissa LaBarre yarn: Valley Yarns Valley Superwash DK, 2 skeins needles: US 5 Clover bamboo circs and DPNs size: 6-12 months my Ravelry project page
notes:
The leaf yoke pattern was very fun to knit. I used a rich dark brown to give the pattern a more “boyish” look. Picking up fewer stitches for the button bands would have worked better (or using a smaller needle), but I’m happy enough with it as is.

I used the same yarn as for the tiny trees baby vest. The yarn was a giveaway on Suze's blog, Mad Knitting, and I stand by my earlier assessment that I like it better than Swish -- it has a nicer hand and a little less of the creepy superwash feel.

Still hooking away at the rosie posie granny square afghan... I'm not sure whether to do four more squares or fourteen more squares.

Some more nursery photos, though we've made progress since these were taken.

The baby quilt made at my mum's baby shower for me!

Paul's mother did the embroidery above the bookcase for his nursery when he was a baby.

My great aunt sewed this sweet christening gown for my aunt in 1940. It has been worn by many babies -- my aunt, mom, two uncles, brother, cousins, me, and even one cousin-once-removed.
