Puerto Vallarta

The view from our room.

The glorious pool, where we spent the bulk of our vacation.

The swim up bar. Our favorite spot!

One of our mealtimes.

The beach was Brendan's favorite place. He loved the surf.

knitting projects

Started working on this tree of life sweater for the new baby, but it's actually more for Brendan's size.
Made this spur of the moment for the new baby, but it's rather girlie, so maybe it will become a gift for a girlfriend with a baby girl.

Knitting update

Made this for the new baby. It's the Baby Poonam pattern.
My felting experiment for a diaper bag. It turned out a lot bigger than I anticipated. We'll see how much use it gets.
Current fair isle experiment. I've never tried to knit gloves before and so far, the fingers are not much fun. I'll have to redo the part that I've done for the fingers.
Tree of Life sweater. Meant it for the new baby at about 6-9 months, but it's knitting up mucho bigger. It might even fit Brendan! That's what I get for not swatching. Oh well!

More baby sweaters

I've finished Brendan's hooded sweater to match the baby's hooded sweater I finished a while back (see Feb 15 post). I also finished another baby sweater, this time a wrap. I'm about to finish another baby sweater with cabling. I'll post that when I'm done.

Brendan and baby

The baby is about 29 weeks here. 2 months left to go!

baby cardigan

This is 'childhood' from knitty.com. It's for my baby, due early to mid August. I'm thinking of making another one for Brendan, so they can have matching outfits.

Baby girl jacket

Finished this hooded, baby girl's jacket last week. I used Patons Melody in a lovely purple. I added some "confetti" yarn to the cuffs and might add more to the hood, too.

Baby booties and hat

Here's a bootie and hat set I made for a coworker a couple months ago. Don't ya just looooove baby booties?!!!
