I found people to knit with!!! Woohoo! There were 5 people all together last night at the coffee shop, knitting/crocheting away at things to make preemie babies warm.
Andrea gave me a very nice shout out in her blog, so I should mention that I was super impressed with her teeny tiny needles and adorable pink hat! I got pretty far on a little blue hat (chatting makes knitting go kinda slowly, but when you are talking about knitting, I think it counts!). Tonight I finished up the hat, then decided what the heck, I may as well make some little sock things, too. I just sort of invented a pattern, with a couple of short rows for the heel, and decreases at the toe.
So far I just have one little sock done, so we'll see if I ever actually make two. I am rather impressed that I even got this far. We'll see if I remember my made-up pattern when I go to make the next one! Maybe a kid will be born with only one foot and it will need clothes, too. Baby things are so tiny! And so darn cute! Hopefully I will remember to send these in when I finish them, instead of hiding them behind the chair for months. I work close to the hospital now, so I can probably just drop them off when I eat lunch there or something.
The yarn I am using is from my grandma. Knitting with it makes me think of her....

I can't believe you finished that hat already. Mine is where I left off at Terrapin. I just can't take it anymore!
And cute sock! The thought of making booties to match my stupid hat makes me want to throw it out the window, along with those size 4 needles...
I will try to make it to a Tuesday night at Terrapin. I need to meet you and Andrea!
