Baby Will Blanket #1

Here is my first blanket for our son. The yarn is from Blue Sky Alpacas, Inc. It is their Blue Sky Cotton. The color is # 607....kind of a limey green. I thought this would be a fun non traditional color for a baby. It is SOFT,squishy and wonderful to work with. I'm probably 75% done. It's a fun and easy knit. Hope to get this finished this week. Now... Back to my knitting.

Fast and Furious Knitting

So I was listening to WeaveCast Episode 1 last night. Syne Mitchell gave this 'warning' to pregnant women. If you are making a special item for your baby.... baby tends to wait until you have finished your item until they make their debut. Well, I'm not preggers.... but we are ANXIOUSLY awaiting the finalization of the adoption of our son William from Guatemala. I am currently knitting one blanket for him. I have one more ready to cast on, and a shawl for me, which I thought would be a perfect baptismal day blankie for him. So now, I'm an on a mission people!!! I will knit, knit, knit all three of these items in hopes that his arrival will come as soon as I cast off the final project. As soon as hubby can help me figure out how to upload, I will add a pic of Baby Will's blanket #1. Must... go... knit.....
