Starting Over

I finished this lacy butterfly dishcloth last night but was feeling kind of luke warm about it. I was reading the directions for some of the other patterns on the site and realized that in order to get the proper look it has to be blocked every time its washed. And I mean seriously blocked. I don't have that kind of time so I ripped it out and am going to make a few more of my old standby granny dishcloths instead.



I am also starting on a set of knit baby blocks for Baby S from Knitting For Baby. She has been grabbing for toys for a little while now but tonight was the first night that you could tell by the look in her eyes that she knew what she was doing. I also think that Baby C could use a few more soft toys to share with her sister... she tries so hard to play but Baby S just isn't cooperating and at 18 months Baby C doesn't quite get it (and we are still working on being gentle). But man is it cute to watch!

It certainly took me long enough but the sleep sack 2.0 is finally finished. Thanks to all the pattern revisions it turned out really great and is a perfect 0-6 month size. Baby S still likes to be swaddled to sleep so she will probably be 3 months old when I actually start using it, however if I were to have put her in it in the super early days I think the waistband still would have been a little loose. I have been debating adding a drawstring to the waistband to tighten it up... what do you think? If I anchored it at the back securely would it still be safe for a baby?
