Baby oh baby.

I’m furiously trying to finish this little baby jacket before the big baby shower next Saturday. I made the same jacket, from the pattern Easy Baby Cardigan, for another baby not too long ago. This time I’ve added the hood and it’s for a girl. I know it’s not the color we normally associate with baby girls but the expectant mother specifically requested that we all go easy on the pink. As it turned out, I happened to have a ball of my favorite sock yarn, Jitterbug, lying around, and that’s what I used.
This may very well be the last thing I ever knit – sadly. My fingers are stiff with arthritis and I’ve also got tennis elbow. Years of overuse from manic knitting and computer use along with advanced age, have created quite a bit of pain in my right hand and arm. I don’t think I’ll give it up altogether, but I’ll probably slow down significantly.
So what else shall I blog about?
That is a pretty color yarn I think it would look great on a little girl.
I really hope maybe after taking some time off you can make knit something every now & then. I hate to see you not be able to knit. =(
You can still blog about your photography & your every day life.

I hope you don’t have to give knitting up, that a good rest and taking it slow will let you enjoy it for a good while longer.
