Joining Ginny today for the Yarn Along.
I am knitting our new babe another knitted cocoon now that I know she is a girl and can use fun and pretty girly yarn colors. I made a unisex cocoon when I was still pregnant in dark olive greens and dusky blues and it just wasn't nearly as cute as I was hoping. The pattern is from the Summer 2011 Living Crafts magazine and is called "Eskimo Kiss Hooded Cocoon". I can't wait to do a photo shoot this weekend! I just love this sweet little knit.
I am still reading the Tommy Chong autobiography that I was reading during back in early March. It is slow going with reading these days.Kind of a funny choice but I found it at the library when i was super overdue with the baby and needed a distraction. My friends and I were huge Cheech and Chong fans back in middle school and high school.
Also enjoying Feeding The Sheep by Leda Schubert. It is a cute story about a little girl watchin her mom take care of the sheep and all the steps from shearing the wool to knitting her a new sweater. I love it and have pretty much stolen it from the library since I have renewed it so many times. I can't resist knitting related childrens books. I am sure I like it more than my son does.
What are you knitting these days?

I cannot resist books for children that involve yarn, knitting and crafting. It is true that I may like them more than they do! Such a sweet little cocoon. Also the wombs are great gifts for midwives.
Hey Heidi,congratulations on that beautiful baby girl!
Can't wait to see the cocoon, and I'd love to find me a copy of that book : )
Hope you get to painting on one of your bellycasts one day.
oooh a baby girl! I agree that you should knit in girly colors. Congratulations!
can't wait to see the cocoon when it's finished! what a great idea. i don't know how to knit, but hope to learn someday...
That yarn is fabulous! I made a bobble blanket for a friend's baby in a similar color and loved how it came out!
I have two little boys whom, of course, I am crazy about and yet, you'll still catch me browsing little girly stuff. I just can't help it - the colours and girly-ness of it all is a hard thing to resist! :)
That cocoon is the sweetest thing EVER. Will definitely pop back over to check it out.
Love your blog!
Such a beautiful colour. I look forward to seeing the results of the photo shoot.
We recently read Feeding the Sheep from the library and loved it so much we found a used copy on Amazon to have around all the time. We also love Weaving the Rainbow and The Goat in the Rug. You might enjoy this post by Meg: http://sewliberated.typepad.com/sew_liberated/2012/03/sheepish.html
I love those cocoons. I regret that I never made one for P. :)
