Junky Knits

That's right... I said junk! :-P

I seem to be losing my creativity (not to mention many, many brain cells that make even the easiest projects 100 X's more difficult) the more pregnant I get. Which leads me to believe there's just no hope once we have a newborn in the house!

My latest FO's...

A very basic, slightly wonky hat. Yes, I needed something easy!!

And my very first knitted dress. Attempted without a pattern at 9 months pregnant in a yarn I'd never used before. (I know, I'm a genius.) After frogging it 4 times I just couldn't bear to pull it out again even though I hate the ridiculous flamenco-dancer ruffle thing going on at the bottom. Justin laughed so hard when I showed it to him I nearly made him eat the darn thing. But he insists he loves it and can't wait to see our baby girl in it. Fine. But she's never ever wearing out of the house. :-)

And the beginnings of a cardigan I started last night and think I'm gonna frog. The colors are just tooo icky sweet together they're making me sick. I don't want my poor baby looking like a huge Easter egg!! I think I'm going to start over and make it solid purple.

She's due in 9 days and counting. I think she wants to be an August baby and won't come early but I can hope, right? Somehow I figured starting a bigger project like a cardigan might tempt fate and she'd decide to grace us with her presence before I'm through. We'll see if it works!
