Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

The Baby!
Please don't tell me you made that sweater. I might have to hate you forever.
sometimes I just want to reach through the screen and kiss her little face!
No, I bought it. The way this kid grows, I really hesitate to knit her anything because she'll be out of it in a month or two.
I got it at Carter's. It's double-knit, so it makes a nice jacket.
You know I was wondering why you never show us baby/toddler stuff you've made. Now I know why. Did you get all maternal when pregnant and make baby blankets and stuff?
Nope. When I was pregnant, I couldn't take any of my pain medication and couldn't concentrate long enough to knit anything. A whole year of knitting, wasted.
I've knit several baby blankets for other family memebers, but this kid got so many blankies at her baby shower, that seemed kind of pointless.
Damned cute! (And hats...hats are about the only thing I've got time to do...)
I want to squeeze her cheeks.
I came here to demand you give me the pattern for that sweater, but since you *bought* it I'll quietly leave now. :)
