Not knitting - what was i thinking !!

My apologies to every knitter out there. I have not knit in over two weeks. I started my cranberry colored sweater and have only 16 rows. I just have not been able to do anything. I mean literally anything. I am 8 weeks pregnant and all I can do is throw up and sleep. Ok ok so I do cook, clean, watch the toddler, and other general day to day stuff but that is it. I have no energy for anything recreational. I try to leave the house and all I can think about is being nauseous. The funny thing it that this is not nearly as bad as it was with my first. I just am not enjoying it. I feel good enough to function but not well enough to enjoy anything. My family comes in next Tuesday so I'll miss SnB for my 3rd week in a row. This means that I am no doubt coming after Thanksgiving. Even if it's only for a few minutes to catch up. Ok. Local Houston knitters ? If you had to choose which would be your favorite lys ? Post me a comment. I have been to Nancy's and Y2E but I feel that something was lacking. Or maybe I just enjoy internet shopping to much.

Boot Sock Update


Well, I finished the back of the matching little girl sweater and I am 1/3 finished with the front. I did finish the first crochet boot sock. It is HUGE. I took a picture of it on my husbands feet to show that it is close to the same size as his foot. When I finish number 2 we'll see how he likes it. I ordered stuff from Patternworks, KnitPiks and YarnMarket. I am hoping it arrives either tomorrow or Friday.

I bought a project for making my first pullover for myself.

I also bought what I needed to make a coat. It's not my favorite but it has lots of good things to learn about. (buttons, pockets)

I then bought yarn to make some hats for my husband which will have a cable in it. Yeah !!

FYI I am using the same not so great yarn for the baby sweater because I had already bought it and I didn't have the time or freedom to get new. Also, this way the sweaters will match perfectly.
