A Little Something for Me
So I've been knitting like a maniac to have holiday gifts ready, but I thought it was about time to finally make something for myself. I love love love the book Last-Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson, and decided that I needed a pair of wrist warmers (fingerless gloves, basically—perfect for getting children in and out of carseats in the cold) in a pretty raspberry color. I can't show you what else I've been working on, lest I ruin Christmas for someone.
Although I seem to be developing carpal tunnel syndrome (which I am told is common in women after childbirth...) I am determined to finish these stupid things. I promised Adam I'd take 2 whole weeks off from knitting, starting with our trip to NY. "Why not stop now?" he asked. I said I needed to finish the projects I already had underway. His response, (in a high-pitched approximation of my voice) "even if it paralyzes me!"
But of course.

next on the to-be-knitted list: wrist brace cozies and a darling little arm sling, done in a brioche stitch with virgin albino alpaca wool!
