Surprise

While trying to make decisions on those projects, I had a coworker tell me of a surprise grandchild coming her way. Naturally, the juices started flowing and I abandoned my decision making woes and decided to start a new project. A Knitting Guild friend used to work for a yarn company and was given some samples several years ago. She graciously shared some of them, and I received 7 skeins of an acrylic or acrylic blend in baby colors. There was no wrapper, of course, since it was just a test yarn.

I decided that to be on the safe side, yardage wise, I would knit the generic diagonal dishcloth/blanket pattern, increasing at the beginning of each row until I had used 3 skeins, then decreasing with the rest. It is a perfect break/lunchtime knit, with food and chatter and no real pattern to clog my brain. It is finished, with plenty of time to spare. All the little lambs are happy. I hope the new one will be happy, too!
