Here is my latest completed knitting project. Not quite sure what Puerperium means but that is the name of this little cardigan (ravelry). It turned out a bit bigger than new born, maybe three months I guess since my gauge was a little bit off.
I am finding it quite challenging to knit in colors which are neutral and in picking buttons that are genderless as well. During my other two pregnancies I knew I was expecting baby boys and it seemed just so easy to pick blues and earth colors. On the other hand it is nice to choose plain and simple colors like beige, white or yellow. I suppose if this baby turns out to be a girl I will be buying a few girlie colors of yarn and get going with some more girlie patterns (like this, or this).
Otherwise I have been working a lot this week. I am nearly finished with the first article from my PhD and hope to send it to the other co-authors and then in a couple of weeks to a journal for publication. I feel the day has not enough hours (specially when I am doing statictics...) and find myself quite exhausted at the end of the evening cuddled up with some knitting and going to bed at 8.30. But this too shall pass and I know I have to give a bit more of myself during this time before I go on maternity leave at the end of March.
And we are finally welcoming the Sun back to these latitudes! Maybe we will get a glimpse of it this weekend...
