As so many things happen, it all started innocently enough. My mother expressed some casual interest in my knitting as we chatted over the phone one morning. A mistake on her part, but hopefully she won't learn from it. With no further encouragement required I started yammering on about a few sets of
Converse style baby booties I've been knitting up for Kelli to give to her friends. All too soon for me (coffee makes me chatty), my mother had to return to her work duties. Fortunately, due to the wonders of the internet I was able to continue trumpeting my knitting accomplishments by sending her pictures of the booties.
Apparently she was taken with them as well, and forwarded the links of the pictures to my Aunt Jan along with my verbose description of the booties as "what I've been up to". Not surprisingly, Jan quickly responded with her usual warmth and encouragement as well as piqued curiosity:
Wow, Dania, those long fingerless gloves are beaut-i-ful! And the booties, so little and perfect - - - any announcements forthcoming?
Oops. Perhaps in the future I should put a better description for baby items that I've knitted. Anyway, I did write back immediately with the following:
Ummm... announcements forthcoming?
Well actually yes! I'm kind of expecting at the moment. I plan to give birth to another hat pattern within the next few weeks. Oh! And I'm gonna be home to visit my folks in about two weeks. And that's about it on the forthcoming announcements. Just recently however, the boyfriend and I both survived yet another bout of my PMS.
In the meantime, for those with the inclination, with or without kiddos of your own or on the way, I highly recommend getting out those straight needles and knitting up some of these
Baby Chucks.
