Knitting update

Well, it is starting to look like the pattern!!
I am exactly where I should be on the pattern in terms of number of rows for each day!
However, I am beginning to fear for the yarn yardage! I am working
off the outside so I have used more then half to get to here.
keep your fingers crossed for me.

And on a side note,
here are a few things that I have learned while knitting for this Olympics.

#1. Catch up is no fun! I am very very glad I am where I am, caught up.. Now to stay that way.
#2. It would seem that 4 ozs. of Dr.Pepper and a cup of coffee are too much
caffine for me early in the morning. Affects my tension!
#3. I seem to get more done if I keep my feet on the floor instead up on the foot stool.
Who knows why.
#4. Knitting is supposed to be calming!! Well, not if your reading a chart and have too
much caffine in you system! Not even being in the middle of the pattern where it repeats
is helping me get in a zone.
#5. Like my quilting, I like to have music. Here that means the CD player and ear
phones.
#6. I still have to quit knitting when my hands get too sweaty!

four more

Look Ma, no hands. There is a baby in that sling.

Nap time for all.

UM, Mom, I'm not sure I'm ready for Internet Explorer.

Tater checking out the contents of the basinete.

And for today's offering we have

I think that Mom is looking pretty good. Of course this was after a nap and a shower! LOL

See we do reach out for them. Kind of early for it but this little boy wants his hands SOOOO BAD! Wants to get
his thumb into his mouth. Think he's going to get that contral faster then most!

Ah, progressive, 21st Century mothering! Baby and computer!

Ah, ain't I cute. You can see the bump. he's getting the ultrasound on it as I type this up!
hopefully by next week we will know more about it.

five days into knitting

and this is all I have! I can still make it but have to pick up the pace a little.
I didn't get any knitting at all done yesterday since the little man was being a
bit of a turkey! he had had mommy up all night and was awake and
wanting to nurse almost every hour!
but I got three rows done this morning and hope to get five more before the day is done!

more pictures.

We have discovered our parrot and starfish! He will lay and look at these for as long as 10 mintues!

looking at the parrot.

relaxed he does really really well when he does it.

BLEECH!!

olympic's knitting project, try 2.

New needles. Size 4, DPNs, bought at a little shop in Monte Vista
called WildThyme arts. Not a lot of yarn but she had the needles I needed.

Ok, one row done.

And here we are. Four rows in and right where I should have been by LAST NIGHT!
I have to say that I like this yarn. I wish the needles were a little pointier, more like the Harmony
since getting then through a K2T is a bit of a trial. But the yarn is not splitting
and it has a really nice hand to it.

A Valentine of pics.

Don't you wish you knew what he was thinking???

Pretty sure that here he is thinking "Bored"! Get off the computer.

A little padawan! (did I spell that right?)

Not baby but baby related. One dog, two boppies!
He's on one half of one under the other half of it and then had the second one on his head!
