Semi-Official!
We heard from our Social Worker today, "off the record", that the adoption homestudy is being submitted as approved!!! We are *so* excited! And, it is only fitting that we discover it today, on our birthmother's birthday. Happy Birthday, L., and thank you!
We move tomorrow, and hopefully, life begins to settle into *some* sort of rhythm! As to knitting, I am working on a cabled scarf for L., our birthmom, and I just side 2 of the dress for my daughter! I never tire of hearing, saying, or seeing that.....my daughter!!
Also, there is space in my free Intarsia class tomorrow, so if you are in Silicon Valley, call the shop to register!

Girl Knitting!!!
As discussed in my previous post, we're adopting! And, as discussed, I am over the moon at the thought of finally knitting for a girl!I have loved knitting for my son, but until the Yarn Girls book came out, there was a dearth of cute patterns for boys....ugh!
So now, I am working on the front of The Good Guest from the abovementioned Yarn Girls book (find it here). I subbed the yarn for my very favorite yarn of all time, Rowan's Calmer. Don'cha love it??
And, even though I have exactly a hundred and eleventy-six moving-related things I ought to be doing, somehow I am only finding time to "girl knit".....hmm....
(In all fairness to the boys, I am designing a matching duo of brother vests...more on that later....)
