I spend a lot of time knitting in the living room while the baby plays on the floor or watches cartoons. <BR/><BR/>The first couple months with a baby are easy (other than the hourly feedings).

I knit most of it in the first month or two we had The Baby and don't really remember it, due to lack of sleep. But the memories I do have of that sweater are mostly good.
