People have said "it's addicting" about various patterns. But until now, I've never found one that I was inspired to cast on and knit again within a week of binding off. Heck, sometimes I struggle with second sock syndrome, and have to fight to cast on a second sock, even though I knit right and left socks...so they're not identical.
But ti's finally happened to me.
The Stockinette Surprise Baby Sweater has got me. This evening, I cast on for number two. Luckily, I have two more babies to knit for.... (okay, perhaps I'm casting on because there are two more babies.... but still...). This one is also stash yarn (only this time it's been in the stash so long it's lost it's ball bands, so I have no idea what I'm knitting with.
I'm alternating baby sweater knitting with working on Irtfa'a. I managed to knit 1 1/2 rows before running out of beads from the old set, am am now trying to figure out how I'm going to allocate them in the edging.
Oh....
And Bookworm graduated from 8th Grade today. The lovely lighting, and the fact that we couldn't get seats anywhere but the balcony meant that this is as good a picture as I could get from the graduation itself...
But, here's how she looked last night before she went to the Dance.
What? you wanna see the whole dress? okay..
Congratulations on the graduation! Cute shoes!
I'm going to have to make one of those surprise baby sweaters, just because the way it folds all weird while you're making it, versus the final product is amazing.

Congratulations, Bookworm! My niece's 8th grade graduation is next Tuesday evening - timed just so that out-of-towners can't get there!
