It's about damn time.

Here in the sticks, we marry and breed early, so despite being barely thirty-one (which might as well be thirty, which might as well be twenty-nine, right?), all my friends have pretty much had all the kids they're going to have. I'm definitely done, so that just leaves my sister ... and she needs to wait. Trust me on this.

So, as a knitter, I've been stymied on the cute baby projects. (Have you seen these booties?!) I made a couple things for Squirt when I was pregnant, but nothing really exciting, nothing I still want to claim. But now, I have a pregnant friend! And, if I'm reaching, I have a pregnant acquaintance, too!

Baby knits galore!

I cast on for another pair of socks Sunday. The yarn is lovely, with very short runs of each color, so I wanted to choose a pattern that wouldn't be overwhelmed by it. This pattern is Welt Fantastic from Sensational Knitted Socks. It's meant for self-striping yarns, which this is obviously not, but I figured it would hold up to the variegation pretty well. There were a few on Ravelry that looked good, anyway.

But I'm not sure I like the sock. I keep knitting and waiting to decide one way or another. I'll probably get the whole sock done and decide to rip it, which will sort of piss me off, but that's what I get for indecisiveness, huh?
