I just read Katarina’s blog — there’s a preview of the Spring 2007 issue of IK on the Interweave website! (Why didn’t I know that already?)

Apart from the weird thong (yes, a knitted thong… I think I’m going to throw up, or something…) it looks like a really lovely issue. I can’t wait for Feb. 20 (or whenever the postman decides to deliver it to me)!

(I think I’ll have to buy more yarn.)

Dear Linn,

No, I haven’t completely disappeared from the world of knitting. I know you’ve been very, very depressed due to the low frequency of updates on my blog. I know I’ve deprived you of that lovely knitting porn which you so sorely need, and I’m so, so, sorry. I hope you can forgive me.

… And while you’re thinking about the above, and about whether to ever forgive me, might I persuade you to have a look at a picture I managed to snap on one of those those precious moments of not taking care of babies and not studying?

That was a couple of days ago. Today, what is (hopefully) someday to become an empire-style cropped cardigan/shrug (for me), has been attacked by an unknown force (read: 14-month-old) and lies, waiting for me to fix it, on top of a pile of knitting-in-progress. I’m sort of using the same homemade pattern as for this summer’s green patterned cardigan-thingy, but with a few modifications. The yarn is the same anyway, only red instead of green (the yarn sale, remember?). You’ll see! As soon as the unknown force starts daycare (I’m counting the days) I’ll have five hours at home with just one baby, five days a week, which means more daytime studying, which means more nighttime knitting.

(Oh, and just to keep you posted, baby has now outgrown the striped onesie you gave her. We both adored it as long as it lasted, and if she didn’t already have 2,389,087 other outfits, I’d go out and get her three more of those lovely onesies :))
