Emotional Train Wreck

He's been gone less than 24 hours and I already miss him.

Damn.

I wish we could afford to turn the cell phones back on... we will be able to pay the bill in like 2 weeks, but I really wish there was someone we could borrow the money from until then or something...

I think not being able to even talk to him is making it worse. Of course, pregnancy hormones are no doubt contributing to the title of this post as well...

I'm tired, hungry, thirsty, sleepy, bored, but nothing I do helps. And thats when I realize I'm lonely.

Me, the anti-social one in the family. I actually really miss somebody for probably the first time ever.

I need to hurry and have this baby so I can be me again and not this blubbering emotional wreck.

TGIF

I have a foot in my ribs. When I stand up, I don't feel it. But sit down for any reason? Oops. It's back. Now, I love my baby dearly, and usually it's fun when she kicks. But she's being a little BRAT today.

*sigh*

On the up side, Rickey just called from his buddy's cell phone. They are already through for the day, and will be heading home in about an hour or so. Then they have to pick up a trailer and drop it off at the office once they get back to town, and will probably be home around 3:30 or so. So I'll get the hug I've been dearly needing all week about 4 hours earlier than expected.

I swear, I never thought I'd miss him near as much as I do... and I'll only have him for 2 days before he has to go back to work. *sniffle*

I know that he's off working because it's a good job... and I know that if he was not working and was back here 24/7 I'd be wanting to throttle him. Damn pregnancy hormones.

I'm a bad knitter. I haven't worked on anything since Wednesday night, and even then I didn't finish but a few rows on the headband I'm making for the Monthly One-Skein KAL on Ravelry...
And I probably won't get any knitting done today either, as I have to straighten up the house before he gets home...

Which is why I need to quit blogging and blog reading and go clean...
At least cleaning generally involves standing up so I can convince Kahlan to remove her feet from my ribs.

I know this feeling...

Quite well. It's not me though, my belly button hasn't popped yet.

Look! It's a belly.

29.5 weeks

Oop... dat was faster than expected.

So I just finished Fuzzy. Thank GOD. I was really getting tired of that yarn. Now I just have to decide what I want to do with the darn 2nd skein. *sigh*

Anyway, here it is:
All girly and fuzzy and SOFT... And I think I made the sleeves too short... but that may be a good thing/ may help keep her from eating the fuzz...

1 down...

It's finished. I decided against the ribbon ties for now, until she gets here and I can judge with it on her.

All in all, (even though it's pretty much my own pattern now) I'd rate it a 4.5- Look-5, Ease of creation- 4 (because of sewing it all together)

After having worked on the fuzzy sweater which is knit in one piece and then divided for the armholes, I think if I make another wrap sweater I will do the same thing with it. Sewing the side seams was a pain. I <3 circular knitting.

Fuzzy

Is nice. But a pain in the rear to knit with.

This is the Fuzzy Baby Sweater as of this morning. I'm moving pretty quickly with it... all I have left to do is the sleeves. The fur seems to be getting in the way though. It wasn't so bad on the flat pieces, but the circular sleeves are a bit tricky. Overall I'd rate the yarn a 3/5. Finished look- 4/5, Ease of use- 2/5. As for the pattern, it scores a perfect 5, for both look and ease of creation. I definitely want to make her a couple more of these in a different type of yarn.


Now... off to work on the sleeves again.

Baby sweaters. Yes. Plural.

So I didn't get too much done over the Holidays. But what little I did get done on the wrap sweater looks important. :P
I've joined the shoulders, made a few rows progress on the 2nd sleeve, and most importantly, I'm about halfway done with the pink trim.



I also started on another... just because I couldn't resist doing SOMETHING with the lovely fuzzy yarn I picked up for $.99 a skein. This one is straight from the book One Skein Wonders.

It's another baby sweater, button up style. I believe the name of the pattern is One Skein Wonder Baby Cardigan... or something similar. *shrugs*

I'm a little iffy on the fuzzy yarn. While it feels lovely... it's awfully fuzzy, and I'm wondering about the wisdom of using it for a baby item. Hopefully she won't try to eat it.

Baby Wrap Sweater Progress Picture

I'm proud of myself :P
It's looking like a sweater now...


What you see here is 1 finished sleeve, 1 unfinished sleeve, and a body that needs to be sewn together and have the pink edging added like is on the sleeves.


*is excited about being this close to finishing*

12 days of Christmas

Redneck Style!
