So with days to spare, I manage to squeak in with some knitting in the first month of 2010. It’s been a “difficult” month, and I’ll be glad to see the back of it.
I hadn’t picked up the needles since I finished my Evangeline Armwarmers. I had plans, though. Plans for lace and socks and lots of creative stuff that would flow from my needles. And then my baby had a personality transplant and the only time I am free is when I am having a bath. I even have an audience when I’m having a wee – had forgotten about that part of having babies. 
But we’re turning a corner and yesterday I tentatively delved into the deepest recesses of my stash for an oddment of soft pure wool yarn, pulled out some soothing bamboo needles and cast on for another baby hat. The plans will still be in my brain next week or next month, after all, ready for when I can finally turn them into reality.
Take heart! You know it won’t last forever! Although…well, I sympathize. My small one doesn’t like me to be out of eyesight either, and prefers to be actually in my arms or on my lap, even when performing acrobatics. I’m glad you’re getting some knitting done though, even in this challenging time.
awww… i know how difficult it can be sometimes with a grumpy baby… hope she settles down soon, and you manage to maintain your sanity in the meantime….
I am actually quite relieved to find that I am not the only one glad to see January 2010 leave.
Heh, just wait when they’re old enough to talk! A friend was in a public bathroom with a friend’s 2-year-old who was being potty trained. So when said friend finished her business, the 2-year-old girl exclaimed, enthusiastically and quite loudly, “You made poopies in the potty! Good job!”
All the other women in the bathroom busted out laughing.
