One Step Forward....

Sorry for the lack of blogging lately. Work has been busy. It's also been driving me crazy not to share all my latest baby knits.
I have found that for every item I finish I find two or three more to add to my wish list. So, in loo of anything deep and thoughtful, because I got nothing, I've decided to share some of those things that I've added to the long wish list. This list is part of why I love Ravelry so much. It keeps these patterns all organized and at my fingertips so when the day comes to knit them I don't have to find them again. I know that these things are a long ways in my future. I currently have three projects on needles and about 6 waiting in the wings to be started. Then there is the sock needles I just bought, my fingers are itching to try them out. I'm sure it makes me strange, but I find motivation in finding projects that I want to make in the future. In my mind I'm always about 10 projects ahead of were I'm at in reality. Frighteningly there are 359 projects in my queue on Ravelry. Anyway for everyone, or just my, viewing pleasure, projects to be completed in 2020 or so:

I can think of all kinds of little girls in my life that need this.
I need this.

These are called baby ballerina slippers. If some of my friends would have had girls they'd have been getting a pair of these.

My fascination with the cowl continues. It looks so warm and cozy.

Speaking of warm and cozy, imagine curling up on the couch with this. It looks heavy to me, like it would really weigh you down, heaven on a cold day.

Someone in my life must need this shawl.

I have to admit the baby in the picture is part of why I fell in love with this blanket. She looks so sweet and a little sleepy.
Thanks for reading or at least scrolling politely while I dream aloud.

359!!!! Oh wow, that sorta stresses me out. I may need to send my daughter your way for some ideas--she enjoys knitting too. You have some GREAT knitting dreams--lots of busy fingers ahead of you! :)

I would love that shawl to wrap around me when it's too cold in my classroom! The purse is also gorgeous and you know how I feel about the blanket!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the blanket. The ballerina slippers are making me wish I could change the gender of this baby (kidding...kinda!), and that baby in the blankie...be still my heart!

My gosh you're a very busy person!!! Not that it matters, but my favorites are pictures: 1, 3, 5 & 7. For starters, who doesn't love little baby things? And that blanket/throw is absolutely perfect for a cold day & a good book.

Happy knitting!!!

I'm here. Always reading your blog. Lurking in the shadows...
My favorite is the first little sweater. My mother made my babies little sweaters which I've saved for their babies!
