We're back

Those first couple days after a vacation are always rough, when you're readjusting to real life. Doing laundry. Searching frantically for the phone charger. Dealing with an ant infestation. Although our vacation was an extended trip to the old abandoned apartment, it was welcome and much needed and far too short. And we both wish we still lived in Ocean City. But rather than dwell on how much we miss the beach, I want to show you what I have been knitting. Remember when I volunteered to be a test knitter in the middle of the hottest summer in 30 years?



I'm finished!



The size is 3 months. And the pattern is Jonah's Sweater by the lovely and talented Cosette Cornelius-Bates of Cosymakes. Cosy will be publishing the pattern for sale in the near future. I will keep you posted. But please browse her shop for other delightful knitterly goodies in the meantime.



There's a little fish on each sleeve. And a clump of dirt under my fingernail. If you like to play on Ravelry, I've posted all the details here. If you're not a member of Ravelry, that link isn't going to work for your.

Nanny nanny boo boo.



While the sweater was in progress Robb worried that the sweater looked too feminine for us to use if our baby is a boy. This from a man who proudly wears a skirt, I mean, kilt. But I think it turned out unisex enough to go either way. It's really cute on the hanger with the gender-neutral duck onesie.

By the way, this is my 700th blog post. I think that means I have too much time on my hands.
