using up some time

I have two words on my mind. Merino wool. How did I not know about this yarn! I am now currently buying it exclusively. I used it to make my greenway fingerless gloves.
And decided the baby would benefit from a sweater. Which I did not use a pattern for. (the outcome will determine whether or not a finished picture will make it into this blog) So far so good, but you know how things can "happen" at the end of projects. Here is the yarn and needles in the sweater.
I feel in love with the color. I thought it would work equally well for a male or female nugget. We are still coming to a conclusion on names. So its a good thing the baby is taking its time. But, I'm not sure how much more I can stretch so I hope its not too comfortable. We can't wait to see you baby.

  10. My friend uses that yarn to make her own socks, it's so pretty. I love the colors! Blessings for this baby, yes, I'm just now reaching 6 months and I feel like I couldn't stretch any more. I can't believe "the big part" is still to come! I'm praying for you and the delivery! Hugs!
