One thought

The thought of the day--well the past week actually-- is "I hate baby blankets. I hate baby blankets." Now this thought could probably be expanded to blankets in general and projects that kinda drag. But since the project of my current frustrations is a baby blanket--"I have to knit how many stupid little squares? "--the " I hate baby blankets" thought remains. I might not dislike them so much if she wasn't due to have the baby "any day now" and I'm trying to finish as many of the squares as I can before then.
I had planned on making matching baby blankets for both this baby and his cousin (both sisters are expecting about a month apart), but I may just make the other baby the Dream in Colors Tulip sweater in a couple shades of blue. Plus a hat and booties--naturally.
I've been thinking a lot about charity knitting and perhaps trying to find a project I could work on for a while now. I was planning on the Red Scarf project but I have some personal deadlines that will keep me busy before the October 15th deadline. I may just move my focus to premmie knitting. I found Sarah's post on how much she loved the gift of handmade hats and clothing helped her and her family. It produced such a pleasant thought in the midst of difficult times that I may just set a couple of project goals for myself. Plus she's running a contest if anyone needs more motivation.
Now I must return to my squares (actually they're rectangles) for the baby blanket. I'll have pictures when I get a bit further along.
