As soon as these Christmas projects are done, I can begin on the Year of Me. MEMEMEMEME. There's that yarn, sitting in my closet, waiting for me to start mitering. There's also a whole bag of cotton close to the lavender in this photo, for a casual lace pullover for me. I could knit them both at once, if I wanted - I usually do two projects at once. All I have to do is finish this sweater and three scarves first. When I look at it that way, it doesn't sound too bad and suddenly I want to knit like the wind so I can dig into all that cotton and feel like I'm doing something interesting. (I fear that often, once the design phase is over, the romance is gone for me and the knitting up is kind of a snore - like with the Husbeast Gansey.)
Besides my sudden motivation, there's nothing exciting. The baby and I both have colds and are huddled down in front of the TV together, sipping water and cuddling when she's in the mood to hold still. (That's often how we tell she's not feeling well. She sits still.) I'm trying to figure out how to get chicken noodle soup into her. The idea of liquid off a spoon is something she still doesn't quite get, though the results are pretty funny.
Must. Go. Knit.

broth in a bottle has worked...although you have to steel yourself for that mute look of betrayal after they get that first sip and realize it's not juice. Hope you feel better!
I was going to suggest a kiddie cup, if she's up to that?
I know so few people who get as excited about knitting with cotton as I do, Julie. And I have used lavendar cotton before - did a rowan jumper in beige and lavendar thin stripes, picot edging, blah blah blah. Go cotton!
