Back in the Saddle Again...

I never thought it would happen... I haven't been in the mood to knit. There has been a lot of stress in my life lately. Work has been crazy, home is always busy, and my grandmother's passing have all just had me in a bit of a funk. Usually I knit to relieve stress, but I guess I've been a bit depressed and not in the mood.

Well I'm glad to say that I am back in the saddle again! Spring Break is here and I have a baby shower coming up for a friend who is having a baby girl. With all of the boys in my family, I rarely get to knit for a baby girl. Muahahahaha! My first project was a darling baby halter top. Baby Hannah will join us in May, so I wanted something summery for her. I chose maroon because her mom is an Aggie, and now she'll be ready for tailgating in style when football season arrives.




Next I am working on a favorite pattern of mine from One Skein: Petal Bibs. I also found a pattern for a sweet little baby hat that looks like a flower bud with petals around baby's face. I might do that too if time permits. Of course there will be matching booties... Can I get it all done in time? We'll see!

I think it has helped get me back into the knitting groove to do baby projects (instant gratification) and something that I rarely get to do (be "froo-froo" for a little girl). So I'm off to knit. If you see me knitting at the doctor's office or the bus stop, say "Hi" and tell me your knitting stories. :) It's good for the heart.
