Since Bailey is born and it is time to present the presents, I think the bootee frenzy has finally passed. I will admit that the malabrigo I bought today was originally intended for more booties, by the time we got home from Nonna's, I was already imagining it as a gift for an adult, not a baby. It is hand wash after all - pretty obnoxious thing to give new parents. Not that Bailey doesn't deserve beautiful things, but so do some of the other wonderful people in my life.
Thinking of knitting for grownups put me in mind of a project that has sat on the needles for a week or so - the Twisty Turns Wrap. I don't know why I had it in my head that it was so screwed up, it really wasn't. I straightened out all of the stitches and got back to work. Still a lot of progress to be made, but I have a little more than 18" done - respectable.
Since work is going to be a joke tomorrow - system is being upgraded, I couldn't accomplish anything if I wanted to ... which would be rare - I plan to bring the wrap with me and get some serious length added to it - I want it available for wear later this month! I also promised to show Eleni how to make Saartje's Bootees for a shower she is attending soon - I have already re-taught her how to knit (funny, she remembered purl right away but took a minute to remember knit) so I will mainly be there for moral support, but it should be a light day full of knitting - something to really look forward to!
