A day without the Bub

Well - Bear and I spent our first night away from the Bub this past weekend. His parents came down and babysat while we headed up to Harrisburg, PA to the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show. I think we did pretty well for our first time away. Apparently she was a perfect little angel! Waking up at 3:00 to eat and then went right back to sleep, even after being changed and reswaddled! Yay Bub! We even got to wake up to snow on Saturday morning!!

Using Bear’s dad’s new GPS, I also got to find some new yarn stores on the way! I stopped at Uncommon Threads in York, PA. I must say, I was a little disappointed. The girl working there said the shelves were bare because the owners were at a show in Pittsburgh. I hope that was the case, but I doubt I’ll be heading back there again.

But then we got to stop at Woolworks in Baltimore and I am in love!! That place was fantastic! The people were so friendly, the shop was so full of a wonderful selection of yarns, buttons and patternbooks! I was in heaven! I finally found the Super 10 Butterfly I’ve been looking for so I can make Via Diagonale from Knitty. The worst part is, I used to live about 15 minutes from this little gem, but I didn’t knit then! I loved how the store was laid out, and I was so impressed by their button selection! I will definitely be stopping in again - if Bear allows!

Even though I put the pictures up on the sidebar and on the finished projects page, I never officially posted about my latest FO - Bub’s Berry Hat. I found the pattern on Ravelry It was super easy to knit up, and it’s too cute on her! I just used some leftover Patons Classic Merino Wool. It could be a little softer, so I think I might give it a little soak and see if it softens up some.

Currently on the knitting front, I’m working on the Fiber Trends Sheep Tote and I’m almost finished. I’m working on the i-cord handle now! I’ve been knitting, sewing, redoing wallpaper, it’s been a busy month so far! Speaking of February - it’s my birthday month! I’ve hardly even celebrated this year! We are headed to Canaan Valley, WV to do some skiing *hopefully there will be snow* for my birthday. We attempted this last year, but it was the height of my asthma attacks and it got cut short. We got some snowtubing in, but that was about it - we’re hoping for more this year!
