A blog post a day

...it ought to keep something at bay, don't you think?  I post to this here blog almost every day, so NaBloPoMo (I keep wanting to write "NoBlo...") isn't going to be a huge stretch, but it will mark the first month with wall-to-wall posts.

The second-to-last of the packages is heading to the P.O. today, with a completed pair of sleeves and a mailing address!  Woohoo.  This little V-neck was knit using some Kool Wool (warm and washable) that I had in stash -- mostly black, with red and purple stripes -- a big purple stripe near the cuff of one of the sleeves, just to change it up a bit.  I probably should have paid more attention while I was knitting the stripes to minimize all the ends -- holy cow it takes nearly as long to make up a baby sweater as it does an adult's!  Anyway, this will join many a handknit helping to keep the Dutchicans warm this winter!  I'm looking forward to news of their arrival -- in less than two weeks!

Look forward to reading more of your writing, nice baby jumper, I hate sewing in ends!

I'm so out of it I didn't even know that this was NaBloPoMo! I'll be reading your every word. Cute little sweater!

I only just heard about the blogging thing . . . for those of us who can't find the time to write that much fiction! Did you know there's a sweater-version, too? Knit a sweater in a month?

Geesh. Most people are wishing I'd blog LESS, I bet.

It's a great sweater and I'm sure it will be much appreciated.

Love how you did the stripes on that sweater.

A post a day? I couldn't even begin to do it. I'm lucky if I have a post a week. I'm so glad I finally got to meet you in person and give you a hug. I hope we'll see each other again next year and get to talk more (when I'm not drunk- that would be good)
