still here

From my blogosphere activity (aside from lurking), it looks like I've been all-mom, no-knit. I've actually been knitting a ton--at least it feels like it, because Sprout has begun to sleep earlier and I seem to spend evenings with sticks in hand whenever possible. Projects (see WIPs in sidebar) are a really cute sweater for Sprout (the JoJo pattern from BeesKnees knits) and the daycare blankie (OK, Sprout's been in daycare for nearly 3 months but my excuse is it hasn't been cold enough for a good thick blankie).


DH is confused by this addiction but patient and silent about how much $$$ I spend on yarn. Recently we went to visit family in my hometown, and I went to one of my favorite yarn stores (I literally dream about moving back to my hometown--a really bad idea generally--just so I can shop at this store). It was a whirlwind weekend, full of family and friend obligations, and an hour was all I could justify to shop without Sprout and B.

I'm agonizing over which sock yarn to buy for the Sprout sweater, when the door bell tinkles, and my slightly damp DH wheels the Sprout-laden stroller through the door. Poor boys, caught in a late-August cloudburst! Then DH tells me they're visiting me in the yarn store because Sprout woke up from his nap in our hotel room across the street (yes, I planned the lodging strategically) WHEN THE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF and DH had to gather our 2 suitcases, the baby in carseat, the diaper bag, etc. and singlehandedly get them all down 6 flights of stairs. My hero.
