Well first, there’s this.
My sweater design for KnitPicks is ALMOST ready for testing! At least it’s knitted. Now, I just have to let it dry. Seam it. Photograph it. Grade the pattern. Make tutorial videos. Have it tech edited. Sign up testers. Have it tested. Edit the pattern if necessary.
And then, you know, THEN I’m done.
I had hoped to have this thing ready to send off at the end of November. Ahem. Ha! That didn’t happen. I kind of forgot about the whole tech editing and testing part. I guess that’s part of the “budding designer” learning curve.
All that aside, I am PSYCHED about how it’s looking so far! I really hope this comes together as I’ve envisioned it, and I really hope others like it (and want to knit it!) as much as I do.
Oh yes, and this. I waited until the last minute to whip something up for Harper for Halloween (I know, I know, that was a month and a half ago. Sue me.). Can you even get over the massive amounts of cute???!!
It’s hard to tell she had a fever of about 102 degrees in these pics. We weren’t out very long before this little one was ready to go home and get a nice big dose of Children’s Tylenol.
She clearly wasn’t a huge fan of her wig at first…
Maybe “not a huge fan” is an understatement.
But she got used to it.
Maybe even liked it!Is it weird that I get a high out of all the, “Awwwwwww, look how cute she is!” comments from onlookers? I didn’t think so.
And finally…
This! We are due at the end of June next year. We couldn’t be more excited.
