Two baby girls...How wonderful!
Growing well (in the 95th percentile—for singletons—off
the charts for twins) and appearing healthy. Yesterday was the
shower –or should I say deluge! A beautiful day for a wonderful
party—and millions of gifts. I am not sure there room for baby's
in the apartment.
So many new wonderful things these days
for babies...I was stunned and over whelmed. My gifts are all going
to be hand made ones.. A niece for my ex's side was there—I haven't
seen her for some year (her grandfathers funeral)--Her children still
play with the stuffed toy I knit for her-(that is how she introduced
me to her children.. (This is Emily's mommy—She's is aunt who made
the stuffed elephant).
That is the best—to be remembered and
known for the things I hand crafted--(some 40 years)... I didn't even
remember that toy at first!
I have to confess—I didn't (don't)
care (boys, girls, one of each)--Healthy is my desire. But as a
knitter—well, it's way more fun to knit for girls. There are so
many things designed for girl—and the same goes for sewing. My
sewing machine has several pre-programed stitch patterns for
flowers—but nothing for boys—not sports stuff, or even gender
neutral stuff (teddy bears or other animals.)
I suppose scalloped edging could be
considered gender neutral—but I think its more feminine—I have
girls to sew for!
As for knitting—Wedge twelve is
complete(finally) —all that remains (for today/tonight) is grafting
the open stitches to the cast on edge—and then getting started with
blanket 2.
The queue of baby things to knit just
keeps getting longer and longer...(and here I am goofing off at the
computer!)
