Blog EntriesA Long Absence – and a new FO!
Posted on | June 3, 2011 | 36 Comments
I can’t believe it’s been over half a year since I last posted. I didn’t mean to disappear for so long. But I have a good reason, I promise! I was swamped with several projects. In addition to starting a new full time job that required me to travel for 6 months and took me away from home 4 days a week, I was working on a book for Interweave, and making a human!
Said human is my daughter, Olivia — born in March of this year. I love her to pieces. She’s constantly challenging me to be a better person. I hope I’ll someday prove worthy of her.
Oh, yeah, the cardigan she’s wearing is her coming-home-from-the-hospital outfit. It’s almost too small for her already! The yarn is Quince and Co’s Tern. I know, I know, a merino and silk blend that can be only handwashed for a baby? Still, given its lovely hand and beautifully dyed colors, I think it’s a worthy splurge for a special baby item. I’ll be writing the pattern up soon.

She is beautiful! I can think of no better reason for disappearing from cyberspace. Can hardly wait to see all of the little girl knitwear that her arrival may precipitate!

You’re finest FO ever! IMHO of course.

Congratulations!
My husband and I welcomed baby #4 in April. I can certainly attest to how busy babies can keep their Mommy! But it’s a truly wonderful busy.
Welcome back, and enjoy that beautiful baby girl!

It’s a very good reason, you are completely excused. Your daughter is beautiful! And working away 4 days a week with a baby! Ouf!! But happy to hear you again!

Oh, she is beautiful! Enjoy every minute of her–my daughter is about to graduate from high school and I can still envision her looking just like your little one…it goes quickly!
Congratulations!

Congratulations, Connie!!! What a precious babe!
I think it’s amazing that you accomplished so much during your pregnancy. I just have a few more weeks until my little guy’s due date, and wanted to just hibernate during the last few months

You’re referring to the sweater and not the human, right. Just want to be clear on that.

Congratulations! What a cutie.
June 5th, 2011 @ 7:18 am
Such good news, congratulations to you all. I had wondered where you disappeared to. I hope between the baby and the job you can eke out some knitting and designing time, but if not, I hope you are simply having a great time!
