Hello There!
Today was a busy day. First indoor meet of the season at Boston, exciting! Yes I brought my knitting with me. I didn't work on it a whole lot; The way down I just wanted to get into my competition state of mind, plus my wrist has been aching a bit, so i just listened to the iPod. I did work on it a little bit on the way back, but I ran out of yarn, and I needed to measure the length anyways. Right now I'm working on yet another "baby pea pod." I found this pattern in a quaint little North Carolina yarn shop when I was visiting my grandfather with the family (I'll post the website at the bottom, since i didn't create the pattern). It is a little pea pod, the baby being the peas, with a little stem hat. I have since made three, one as a tester, and two as baby shower gifts . It seems that so many people are pregnant right now! So I'm currently on my third. Won't lie, it's becoming slightly tedious since it's all in stockinette stitch, but it looks so good, and I absolutely love the reactions it gets. Debating about selling them since they're easy and absolutely adorable.
Right now, I would say I'm about...a quarter of the way done with the body of the pea pod, then I still have the little hat to do. I've been procrastinating on it a bit, mostly because I wanted to finish the blanket for my bestie, but also because it's getting slightly tedious. But now that the blanket is done ( pictures below), i can continue on with the pea pods. These next two are for my sister's friends (well, they've all been my sister's friends who are pregnant....) She wants two more for her future sister-in-law and then for another friend. All for Christmas. So I have definitely have some work cut out for me. Finals are coming up within the next week, so I will need some down time. It's great past time for de-stressing.
Well, now I am off to figure out what classes I'm going to be taking next semester, and possibly continue on with the current pea pod.
