Yarn Along

Joining in with Ginny at Small Things for this week's Yarn Along.
Hooray! I have finally finished Phoebe's baby shorts from Debbie Bliss' Essential Baby. They took way longer than they should have. They came out cute, however, I made the 6-9 month size, which is what Phoebe currently wears and they are huge. I mean, if she wasn't wearing a cloth diaper, you could fit two of her in there. I was a little disappointed that I was finishing them at the end of summer, but I honestly think they may still fit her next summer. Todd keeps joking that Finn could wear them. They aren't that big, but they are defnitely not 6-9 month size....
So, I have now finally cast-on for the first section of Phoebe's sweater! I am knitting the crossover top, also from Debbie Bliss' Essential Baby. This is my first time knitting a sweater, so I am a little bit nervous and a whole lot overwhelmed. The pressure is on to finish before she is too big for it!! We are headed on a road trip this weekend and I am hoping to make some progress then. Otherwise, these days I am too exhausted by the end of the day to do much knitting...
I am still reading The Help for my mama's book club am loving it. Wished I had more time the past week, but we have had a LOT going on. (Explanations for that it some later posts). I am about halfway through and hope to finish it up this week. I am also almost finished with The Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr ... just one more chapter to go. I will do a write up of my thoughts in the near future.
