Knitting Knews

As promised, here are pics of my latest completed knitting project. Thatcher's Cargo Pants!

And here's the boy himself. As you can see, life is just better when you're wearing a pair of Rowan All-Seasons Cotton cargo pants knitted by your mom.

These pants are so great--they go with every shirt, they fit over Thatcher's big cloth-diaper bum, and they are so comfy and soft on him. The day will be a sad one when he grows out of these...

So, I'm still working on that baby gift for Kate who has already made her appearance. I'm close, I'm really close to finishing, but I'm trying to learn a couple of new techniques (intarsia and 3-needle bind-off, for all you knitting geeks out there), so it's going slowly right now.

My only other UFO (UnFinished Object) is a fine-guage (needle size: 2 What was I thinking?) sweater that I started oh, about 2 years ago. A short-sleeve diamond-stitch sweater with soft lavender cotton yarn. I think it's going to be lovely, but it's one of those projects that I can't knit while talking to anyone or watching a movie because I have to count stitches and pay attention to where I am on the pattern.

Okay, that's all for now.
