Happy Sunday :)
After last week's shenanigans, we are all home and attempting to get settled in and used to the "new normal." We actually didn't even get discharged from the hospital until last night so, obviously, I didn't get my post written and this and that so I'm posting while Stormageddon's napping. He'll be awake soon, though.

I finished a Sacrificial Goat last Monday but I haven't had time to post about it because I finished Stormageddon on Tuesday :) So, perhaps I can get in a FO Friday post regarding the Sacrificial Goat...but in the meantime, know that I've finished another one.
Works-In-Progress (WIPs)
1. Dragon's Egg Socks: started September 2, 2013
2. Pacific Shawl: started June 8, 2014
3. Swatch for The Dude: started July 16, 2014
4. Snape's Stockings: started August 20, 2014
Because I was in the hospital most of this past week, the only project that made it to said hospital were Snape's Stockings.....not that I had a lot of knitting time anyway! I'm almost done with the leg on the first sock. The nurses were all impressed by the knitting...they also all loved the Swirl Hat I brought with me. I may make a few more for the NICU, where Stormageddon spent some time the past few days.
Yes, baby spent some time in the NICU. He had slight jaundice and needed to be under the Bili Lights and those are located in the NICU. So, I would visit him for nursing/feeding and cuddle a little, come back to the room and knit or sleep or eat, wash, rinse, repeat. We were finally discharged last night after some blood test results (regarding the jaundice).

Secret Sock Club Bags
(These bags are already set up with pattern and yarn - I just pick one
at random and no, I don't remember what I put in there right now...I can
go look later, if you're really interested. I really probably should...but, honestly, nah...)

3. Assorted Dishcloths
4. Traveling Vines projects (adult socks, baby socks, scarf, hat, fingerless mitts, shawl, etc.)
5. Pinwheel Market Bag

I imagine things are going to be quite up in the air for at least a few weeks/months. I expect that I'll still knit here and there and I'll try to update when I can but, really, the focus is going to be on the new version of normal :)
I hope you've all had a lovely week/weekend :)

Go figure it would all happen on a week I was busy and not blog reading, congratulations on littler little man he's such a cutie and I'm glad to hear you are home and all is well and that your all settling into new normal life, it soon becomes so normal you don't even remember what was before. Congratulations again.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I clicked through and he looks like a darling! Like Kepanie, I'm glad to hear you're home and all are doing well. Good luck finding your new normal!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and so glad you are all healthy and doing well! How does little man like having a brother? I can't believe you got knitting done at all so good for you!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of secret sock bags and now that I'm pretty sure I'll be a life long sock knitter, I want to do that too.
So glad you and baby are home and doing well. Rest when you can and craft when you can. You will be very busy with two wee ones to tend to. We will catch up with you as you can do that too.
ReplyDeleteI think the 1 FO is enough this week ;-) Glad all is well and you are both home safe.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are home, it took me a while to settle in to the rhythm of having two but it all sort of clicked in the end:)
