Adventures in babyknitting

Wow…where has the time gone.  It’s been a while but we’ve finally been able to share big news with friends and family that a baby Buscher is on the way. YAY! 24 more weeks to go.

Once I learning the news of Baby B my first reaction after realizing I need to stop binge drinking and chain smoking (only kidding) was what can I make for this little girl or guy to be.  We wouldn’t know the sex of the baby for a few weeks so I started with a sweater since I’d made one before for a friend’s baby shower.

It’s funny how you don’t realize something until it’s right in front of you and that happened for me the other night.  I’ve been working on this little number.  I like the yarn and the tight weave of the pattern makes for a nice, chunky effect.  I thought the color combination is pretty neutral and could work for a boy or a girl.

Once we started moving a few things around in the kitchen to accomodate some new appliances (let the nesting begin) I noticed something about our kitchen rug that I hadn’t noticed before…

OMG…the colors of the rug and the yarn are almost identical!  It’s one thing to have a matching scarf and gloves but how often does someone say their kid matched the kitchen rug.  Hum…I may have to rethink this one or get a new rug.

Anyway, since the word is out, it’s so great to finally be able to talk about it. So, for any of you that follow mommy blogs or mommy-to-be blogs if there are a few that I should add to my Google Reader, I’m love to hear about them.
