Back Among the Semi-Living

Finally! I had two months worth of digital pictures to “process” (and there weren’t really that many considering we had a baby and all). I have been sick since last weekend (that’s the 22nd for those of you keeping track at home) and have felt like death warmed over literally. The lack of sleep due to being a new mom doesn’t really help either. Finally I feel a bit better; and wanted to get these pictures out!
I finished Alex’s roman shade, and I’m quite pleased with it if I do say so myself :) Here it is in the “up” position:
And the down position:
His room is getting there - I even managed to put the crib together too. He’s still sleeping in the basinette in our room; soon he’ll move into his own room and hopefully sleep a bit longer at each stretch at night. Who is this little devil that keeps me up and from being healthy? Why, here’s a picture of him:
Ain’t he cute? Good thing too.
Knitting???
For those interested - I ripped back Hardangervidda again. I’m knitting the size medium and had loosened up my gauge “just a bit” to make sure it wasn’t too small. HA! It measured at 52″ on the supposedly smaller part where the hem is. (The pattern says that the chest should measure 44″ across for that size) I ripped back and am reknitting it at my ’standard’ knitting style, not loose, not tight. I have about 3 more rows before I can measure it to see where it is. Someday this will be a completed sweater. I swear it!

Hi Nancy, good to see you back and still knitting. Keep going, you will prevail! Also, I love the Roman shade (and Alex, but he’s so cute that goes without saying….).

Shade and baby are both beautiful! Glad you’re finally feeling better. I hope your sweater sees positive progress soon. Good luck! I hate ripping, but it’s usually worth it in the end.
