Let the Blogging Begin

I'm the mother to a 7 month old girl and I'm learning how to knit. I'm getting very involved very quickly. I really like the idea of being able to make something that I need, and make it just how I want it, not how someone else decided how it should be. Of course, I'm limited by time and skill. Skill can be developed and time can be managed.

Right now I am starting work on a little blanket for my baby Bonnie and I'm also going to knit some little covers for the straps on her car seat. We have some big car trips planned, and I'm concerned that as we start putting shorts and sundresses on her, she will get rubbed areas on her soft little skin from these not so soft "pads."

I'm also knitting a prayer shawl.

Knitting aside, I'm worried about my friend A. I haven't heard from her in a couple weeks. Her mother-in-law is terminally ill, I suspect they might have left town abruptly to take care of something with her....I hope all is well. I know her husband's family has some issues (aside from a sick family member). I'm worried for them.
