It's so itchy

I have an itch. A terrible, horrible itch. And no matter, not matter how much I scratch it, it won't go away.

I have an itch to knit baby things.

I don't know where this itch came from. It hit me about a month ago, and it won't go away! I want to knit tiny baby socks, and little baby cardigans, and small little baby toys that will be grabbed by tiny baby hands. And the worst part? There are no babies in my life!

It's almost cruel.

My best friends Katie, who is currently expecting boy #3 lives in Australia, so I can't knit baby things for her. My other best friend doesn't want another kid for a long, long time so she's out of the picture. A acquaintance/friend of mine is pregnant with child #2, but I never saw child #1 wear the cardigan I made for him, so I feel like knitting something for the second kid is going to be a waste of my time. Any other friends that I think would be knit-wroth is not having kids...I'm screwed.

I've been trying to scratch this baby-knitting-itch with other new projects, or by picking up projects I haven't worked on in months or years; like the lace stole I have about 25% done. Or the  worsted weight scare blanket that I've been working on since 2012. But picking these things up only satisfied me for a little bit....and then I want to knit little bitty things again.

Someone knit-worthy, who lives close to me, seriously needs to have a baby soon. I wonder if my Mom would be up for it...

Knitting for Yorkshire Yarns

Thanks to me not having anything to do at the moment and to Sonya, the owner of my favorite LYS, having more yarn in her shop then she has knitted into something (she hates making swatches xD), I have three beautifully soft skeins of baby yarn sitting on my bed, waiting to be turned into something.

I'm not 100% sure what they'll be thought...I'm thinking of turning one (all three are different yarns and companies) into a cute baby hat. Another one might turn into a pair of booties...although that wouldn't show the yarn of very well....hmmm....maybe a cute swatch with a design in the middle and around the sides? Like a block for a blanket. Hmm...we'll see I guess.

I'll defenitally post pictures once everything is done.

Oh, did I mention that I get paid in store credit worth the cost of the yarn? >w<>
