In My Dreams

Today I bought a book with patterns way beyond my knitting ability. I couldn't resist it though!! I can usually talk myself out of buying anything (and I do mean anything), but I hardly fought the urge to purchase this beautiful little book.

It is rare (read: has never happened) that I have like every single pattern a book offers. But I loved every single pattern this book has to offer. Every single one. And I can just envision myself snuggling my sweet little babes in handmade knits (in the not-so-near-future).

Take this little number, for example. So cute! It would be a bit of a pain to change a baby in this, but it the cuteness well makes up for the nuisance.

And look at this little hat! Precious!! Erik says our babies are going to have giant heads so I'll probably have to skip the newborn sizing, but this little thing may be the only pattern I will have any hopes of tackling at this point in my knitting journey.

And look at all of these! I especially love the purple colour. But look at the itty bitty clothes. Those sweaters are magnificent. Now picture a chubby little cherub in them.

And this sweater. I have got to learn how to knit this. I love everything about it. Look at the colours! And the pattern!! And does it come with the baldy?? Cause if it does, I'll take seven.

And finally, this little number. I don't know why I love grey so much, but I constantly find myself drawn to grey things. I think babies should be in bright colours because, let's face it, infancy and childhood are really the only times bright colours can be pulled off. That being said, grey is so classy. So so so classy. And this outfit is made for snuggling.

So my goal is to knit at least one article of clothing from this book. Thankfully it was only $9 so I didn't splurge too much, but I would still love to put the book to good use. Oh, and that hat from earlier doesn't count as an article of clothing... I wanna make one of the other breath-taking pieces. By when, I'm not sure. Let's say before Baby #1 makes his/her appearance. So that gives me five years.

That's 1,825 days.
Or 43,800 hours.

But who's counting?
