I am not pregnant.

I don't know anyone who's pregnant (not in person at least, but I am living vicariously through Stefanie Japel on the matter). My boyfriend and I have no intentions of becoming pregnant or otherwise acquiring a baby for a while, and even then it's going to be a lot of work for about a billion reasons, both physically and mentally.

So why, then, have I recently (almost) finished a Daisy, and started a Baby Surprise Jacket? In addition, I've recently added the Hoover Blanket to my Ravelry queue, and am eying baby and toddler related patterns left and right.

Is my biological clock manifesting itself in my knitting? Probably. Here's Daisy.



I love the Baby Surprise Jacket though! It was a little tough getting used to the stitch marker business at first, but like most EZ patterns, once you figure out what you're doing it's smooth sailing. I think. So far, at least. I'm not terribly far yet, because it's only relaxing-before-bed knitting. I'm using some Nature Wool I've had laying around for a while, which has rekindled my love of said yarn.

Aaand some odds and ends. The Puff-Sleeved Cardigan from Fitted Knits is almost done. I'm on the lace part of the peplum (don't worry, I'd never heard that word before either.)


And I only have about half a ball of yarn left. Half a ball of yarn left for finishing the sleeves and doing the button bands? I'm nervous. I've already determined I need less decreases on the sleeves because they fit me pretty okay the way they are, so that saves yarn. But I dread having to see if Knit Picks still has my dye lot, what with the huge sale over the last few weeks.

Aaand my first fibre from Flawful Fibers & Yarns came today. Oh my god. It's beautiful.


That's superwash merino and...my first silk! I'm constantly in the bag grabbing at it.


Mmm. I was a little wary of my decision not to buy fibre anymore this year, but I'm totally fine with it, seeing the glorious colours and the prettiness and soft and SILK. SILK!!


Silk. More groping now.
