7. Sooooooooper Secret Pattern Writing (project #2): started sometime in February

I haven't started anything new this week. I've been busy getting my Stitch's Rock Collection test going (and I could still use a couple more testers; if you're interested, click the linky on #6 - it's a quick knit, for the most part). I've also mostly finished the Soooooooper Secret Pattern Writing but I can't claim that as finished until October. So, there's that.

I also participated in WIP Wednesday this past week. You can see my first socks in my Traveling Socks and my Dragon's Egg Socks if you pop over there :)

Christmas Presents
I have absolutely no idea what's going to end up here, if anything. I suspect something will end up here and I might pull it from other lists but we shall see. Maybe I won't do any Christmas knitting. Maybe all I'll wind up doing is Christmas knitting. I suppose this is a wait-and-see section :)

1. Susan's Hat
2. Traveling Vines Socks
3. Little Man's Baby Blanket
4. Paradiddle Socks (see Secret Sock Club Bag section)
5. Stitch's Rock Collection (of Hats) (see FOs #4 & #8 above)
6. Paradiddle Collection of Hats

I have a feeling that my next project will start soon and it will probably be something small and easily finished and gratifying. Or something like that. We'll see...



In "real life".......not much has been happening. Stormageddon had his second round of the flu shot on Thursday. He took it like a champ. He cried for about 30 seconds, probably not even that long, and then he was all smiles for the nurse. Silly boy. He's getting so frickin' big. Also, I think he's going to skip sitting and go straight to crawling. If I put him on the hardwood floor in our living room, he's all over, dragging himself along on his belly...or rolling. Try to sit him up and he gets mad.

Waiting for Daddy to bring food at Ikea

JUMP!

So big! I love this little boy.

And seriously, does he not look like his big brother?

I mean, Little Man has more hair, obviously...but they make the same faces!

I love those two little boys of mine. I think I'm going to keep them :) Unfortunately, the most recent photos of Little Man are still on my phone and I'm entirely too lazy to get them off right now.



Anyway, I think I should get this posted, seeing as it's almost 11am here....I hope you're all having a lovely weekend!
