In Which I Am Somewhat Vague

I have this friend who has a wee bairn in her belly and she maybe sometimes read this blog, so I am telling you right now that this may or may not be in reference to said wee bairn. Maybe.

I am knitting something that is baby sized and can I just ask? WHY HAVE I NOT DONE THIS BEFORE? Baby knitting is so gratifying! A whole sweater in a WEEK! How awesome is that? A hat in an evening? Booties in a few hours? I am an idiot. It is the perfect fusion of instant gratification and knitting a garment that is not a scarf.

Also? Scarf knitting? NOT instant gratification. Unless you?re knitting a bulky yarn scarf on size 15 needles. But I don?t swing that way, so no. instant. gratification. Poo!

So, anyway, I am knitting this sweater that may or may not fit a wee bairn (also, I love saying wee bairn. Sometimes I like to pretend that I?m Scottish, because if it?s not Scottish, it?s crap!) and I got all pissy yesterday because maybe I missed a SSK somewhere. I was all melodramatic and very Anne of Green Gables about my extra stitch. You know, ?I AM IN THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR!? and whatnot and was about to put the damn thing in time-out when I realized that, ?Hey! This half of the right front that I messed up? It took me maybe half of one whole episode of Doctor Who to knit. I think I can tink it back and redo it.? And lo and behold, it was so.

Now all I have left are two little sleeves, some seaming, a collar and buttons. And they happen to be the cutest buttons in the world. Normally, this would seem daunting and a lot to accomplish in a short period of time, but it?s all wee and tiny! I will be done in no time flat.

Wee knits are awesome.
