A dear friend of mine read my blog and told me it made her want to drink! I guess it might be time to lighten up, huh? Though, this is where I tend to come when I need to talk something out and still will be...
I really do knit!!
I am proud to report that I finished the EZ Baby Surprise Jacket! I really don't know that I will knit this again. I think that the yarn had a lot to do with this not being a fun knit for me. I used Organic Cotton, yes...I am dumb. It really is an interesting technique and it was nice to only have to knit up the shoulders, but I am not completely sold on the pattern.

I let it sit in time out for a couple of months and then decided to go ahead and knit the collar. Then, after talking to several people I discovered that this sweater sits at your shoulder and hangs, which is OK. I love the fact it is long, it covers my legs when I am in my chair at work and that is truly a good thing.
I finished knitting the collar and sewing it on in the truck, on the way to Clayton, NM...in July. It dawned on me that we were headed to the Northweast coast and I didn't have a sweater for the mountains. I finished this sweater about Amarillo, TX and the Cadillac Ranch.
I wore this sweater all vacation, my kids would commandeer this sweater on vacation and it is really comfortable. My only complaint...it is pilly...I didn't realize that Cascade 220 would pill. The poor thing needs a shave!
I am going to try to get back more often with knitting content...not just the depths of blue. I won't say there won't be more blue, but I will try for less.
