Imagine that. It's been a month since my last post and again no crochet or knitting talk. Obviously, I spent all my time taking care of my now makulit daughter (and playing flash games in Facebook.) I'm totally hooked... on games... not on my WIPs, such a shame. :(
Have I mentioned I already bought some knitting needles? I'm a proud owner of Addi knitting needles, 2 mm. and 2.5 mm, made very little progress and was able to finish a swatch, I repeat, a swatch with my current cotton thread and 2.5 mm needles. Though I tried making a knitted dress for Una, but with my slower than a snail's progress, I'm pretty positive that Una will outgrow her dress without me finishing even half of it so I decided to just rip it and work with smaller projects. I think I'm being too delusional expecting to finish a project that big with zero experience knitting. Oh wait, I did finish a swatch. Can that count as an experience? (No Gene, you're fooling yourself again.) And because I'm being true to myself now and admitting defeat I decided to take some time off (a.k.a spend time reading ebooks) but no worries, such a hindrance won't stop me because there's always a next time and I still see my knitting needles mocking me to pick them up and be productive.
So let's leave those needles in their mocking and I give you Una's photo of the month.
Oh, and she's 6 months now!

ReplyDeleteAww...wouldn't you want to make her a lot of stuff? There are simple knitting patterns that you can surely tackle ;)
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is absolutely precious! I'm finding it hard to knit now that my son is born, but I get a little done every day. Be patient with your knitting, we all have to start somewhere. There are many resources online to answer knitting questions... otherwise try to find a friend or knitting group to help you out. Take care!
ReplyDeleteHi Umiko! Thanks for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteI try as much as possible to spend time in front of the laptop and knit some for Una. I really want to finish making something for her. Whenever she takes her short naps, I pick up my needles and knit a couple of rows, usually, I can finish half an inch before she wakes up. Her naps are really short, like 20 minutes to 1 hour so I don't get anything done. And playtime for her means me being involved so I always have my hands full and I don't want to make a risk to knit while breastfeeding.
