I have NEVER missed a deadline ... until now. I started a baby blanket last month for my soon-to-be-arriving niece Eva, but then the darn girl had to actually be born on time and I am no where near done. You can blame all the paying gigs I've had (you won't see me complaining, though!). I think we have all been there, eh?
Miss Eva is absolutely precious and I cannot WAIT to meet her! She came out on her actual due date (just like my own daughter!) of May 14th. I am counting down the days until I can make it out to California for a visit!
SO, while my blanket may not be finished, I console myself with the thought that a baby doesn't need a wool blanket during the summer months anyway. Whew! Gives me a little of leeway there.
I'm using the lovely Berroco Ultra Alpaca (one of my favorite yarns and companies), with simple garter stitch and a pretty flecked eyelet pattern.
I *should* have this sweet blanket finished up before long, while Eva is still a wee babe, and then, because you know I can't resist, I am thinking of offering up the pattern for FREE to all of my fabulous friends out there.
Now, tell me about your current unfinished projects waiting around - I need to know I am not alone.
She is adorable! My due date for my older son was May 14 two years ago. Instead, he was born April 26th, the day after my birthday.
ReplyDeleteI have a sock design in progress and am in the very starting stages of a shawl design. I have at least three quilts in various stages of (un)completion. I'm working on cleaning and organizing the whole house. I have a sample that needs to be reknit. You are not alone.
Oh, the joys of balancing household, errands, childcare, school activities, and design work! :)
DeleteShe really is a cutie :)
ReplyDeleteTwo fo my sons were born on their due dates, on was Christmas Eve. Right now I'm working on a summer afghan I started way too long ago.
ReplyDeleteHaha! My own daughter, the oldest, was born on her due date, too. Must run in the family. :) Have fun on that afghan - share pics when you are done!
