Temptation

Wednesday, July 18, 2007

I'm going to have to start cranking out new baby gifts very soon. The stars have aligned so that five (yes, five) friends and family members of mine are due to deliver in August. I'm not complaining. I'm very happy for all of the parents and grandparents to be. And lord knows I love knitting baby clothes. It's just that my no-new-knits program is going so well, I hate to give it up. I'm weak willed. If I hop off the wagon now, I may never get back on.

In an attempt to stave off the inevitable, I decided to really do my homework before selecting baby patterns to knit rather than immediately starting my go-to gift, a simple boatneck sweater with matching striped hat. I was hoping that this would buy me enough time to finish off Mr. Cash, but instead it lead me to a treasure trove of temptation, specifically Jaeger Pattern Book #29



If you haven't had the chance to peruse this book, please follow the link and peak at pictures of the collection. They're absolutely gorgeous. I should send a thank you note to the Windsor Button employee who directed me towards it. Or maybe I should send her Grace and Johnny Cash, so that they don't wither on the vine.
