waiting-for-baby blanket
My due date was Saturday. Today is Tuesday. I feel great physically, but am sort of disappointed to discover that Frauline Fetus has already picked up poor time management skills from her parents. I skipped out on Rhinebeck for this!
Hey fetus-lady! We’re dying to meet you! You are welcome to join us at your earliest convenience. Really.
Since there is literally nothing left for me to do in terms of baby prep, I’ve been knitting something mindless:
It’s a baby blanket, knit in stockinette stitch from the center out. There are ten evenly-spaced m1 increases, worked every other row. That’s it. My plan is to just zone out on it until it’s big enough, and then add some sort of decorative border to finish it off. There’s a leaf border in Nicky Epstein’s Knitted Embellishments I really like.
