I have been struck with the knitting bug lately- a strong urge to plow through my stash of yarn and to make soft things for the soft little human being we are awaiting any day now (or maybe not--can pregnancy be a permanent condition?).
I made the first hat from this pattern out of some Blue Sky Organic Cotton for the new addition to the family. I am enamoured with the idea of putting a home crafted article of clothing on our baby when she or he enters into the world. I only hope this one fits--it may be a little big.
I made that same pixie hat in fingering weight from this pattern for my friend's one year old. My handknits usually come out fairly large so I knit it for a newborn thinking it would fit a one year old--and it does!
Finally, I finished the Project Linus Security Blanket from Knitting for Peace also knit our of Blue Sky Alpaca Organic Cotton.
I have a few more projects in the works too. Ahh, knitting therapy... There is nothing like it.

All really lovely - you get things done quickly! And as far as I know, pregnancy can not be permanent. Though it can feel that way! ;)
Still nothing, huh? No pangs? No twinges? No, nothing?! Feel free to knit a few for me too:)
gorgeous!
Wow, I didn't realize that you are just about to have this new baby!!! What is your exact due date?
I do LOVE that Linus security blanket. I'm off to check out the site!
Beautiful creations!
