january to february knitting
so my yarn didn't come in for the Elizabeth Zimmermann's January Aran sweater, so I am moving on to February Baby sweater. I think Katrina and her doll (if I have time to make one) will like this sweater - very nice - garter stitch yoke and a nice pattern for the body of the sweater. I will be making it two tone and hopefully will start in a couple of days.

knitting in 2011
i have to say i can't believe it is 2011 and I can't believe my first baby is 13 and my newest baby will be 3 this year.
so this is the year of knitting for myself apparently! I have knit myself the EZ swatch cap while I am waiting on my sweater yarn to come in and kind of see where my gauge is for the aran sweater. This is my newest baby modeling it for me! :)
i am also knitting a hooded cowl as a KAL with my friend Sandy with some yummy yarn I got from sheepytime knits as part of my speshul snowflakes club - here it is so far.........
and.......I am knitting my 2 1/2 year old a "spring butterfly" and have the bodice done and am now working on the body of the button sweater. I'll post pictures later........so what do you have on your needles?

a year of knitting
so i never make new year's resolutions - but this year, i am making 2: one is to knit a pair of socks for me and the second is to knit at least 6 months worth of Elizabeth Zimmermann's "A Knitter's Almanac" - my goal is to start January with the aran sweater. I am going to start tonight with my "gauge hat" to see where I stand with her "written out" instructions! They look followable enough, but we shall see!
Those of you who are knitters, can follow my progress with my Ravelry account - I am "dollbabymom" and all of EZ's patterns will start with "EZ:" so hopefully they can be found easier (if anyone is looking for them).
So, have a wonderful and Happy New Year (and hope you had a marvelous Christmas) and continue to follow my knitting adventure! :)

another good reason to cloth diaper your baby........
So you are thinking about cloth diapering, but not really sure - well, here is another reason!
Apparently when baby boys are "developing" disposable diapers seem to be a poor choice as they can raise scrotal temperature. And that apparently is bad for the developing sperm that happens in the first two years of a little boy's life.
Here is the complete article: link
So, what do you think? Do you want to keep your baby boy's scrotum a little cooler from now on? Cloth diapering apparently can do the trick!
