We found out that our next door neighbors were having their first baby. We found out in the spring. It is now the fall. She’s due in 2 weeks.
I purchased yarn and a baby blanket pattern and started to knit it in the spring. Shortly after we found out she was expecting. It’s now the fall. She’s due in 2 weeks.
We had a LOT of house projects going on this spring and summer, therefore, I chose a simple pattern that would be kind of mindless and automatic. Logical decision, right?
It’s so mindless that it’s boring. Eyes rolling back in my head boring. I find myself knitting a few rows each night and putting it aside. I measured today. I’m only halfway through the body of the blanket, and still have the edging to do. She’s due in 2 weeks. That’s soon. That’s really soon. I should be knitting on it now, but I feel queasy just thinking about it.
I shall rethink my easy-peasy strategy should they have a second baby.
The Blanket
P.S. Doesn’t it look like the Good Humor man spit up on that blanket? Really.
