Well that date that felt so far away and I was desperately upset about (I now blame pregnancy anxiety and hormones for that!) is here - I'm off to my booking appointment with the midwife! Hurray! This is like the first 'official' step of my pregnancy, and I'm so excited! I'm armed with a million questions, my family medical history, my knitting for the wait and a lovely baby daddy; so I'm nearly ready for the off. I've just sorted my constipation with an Alex-brand super espresso, so I'm raring to go!
Speaking of knitting, I've started my first, and probably only piece of knitting for the baby - a blanket. It's going to be (sorry, about to get a bit knitting technical!) quarters of stockinette, with a moss/seed stitch border. It's going to be a gender neutral, baby sick friendly chocolate and off white stripe; so basically a funky blanket rather than a dainty one. With my knitting skill, hopefully bold should hide all the mistakes! I got some lovely Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino wool off eBay (which I tried to pay for twice, once by PayPal, once upon collection, much to the seller's amusement - well done pregnant brain!)
So far it's been cast off and undone about a hundred times, which at 168 stitches per row, is a little tiresome! However, did a whopping 10 rows yesterday, which is quite good going. I'll post progress as a go along, along with the pattern as I invent it!
Right, off to be prodded!
