It’s a girl!
Now please excuse me, I have to go knit something pink.
I haven’t been so good about blogging lately. This is likely because I have been very absorbed in some Top Secret Christmas Knitting. I could probably post about it here, but I’m a bit nervous about it since I think the recipients know about this blog. (Not sure if they read it, though. Hm.) You guys that have ravelry can see what I’m talking about in my projects.
I’ve also been very distracted by my new, outrageously cute knitting buddy. (the puppy, not Ryan. While Ryan is outrageously cute, he is not exactly new…)
His name is Oliver and he is a miniature dachshund. He keeps my lap cozy while I knit.
You may be wondering what happened to my kitten that I mentioned before. Well….. Milo didn’t exactly work out for us. We discovered that we are both allergic. In addition, he was about give Ritz a nervous breakdown from the constant teasing. My parents took Milo back and he lives quite happily on their farm as an outside cat. I think Ryan and I will always be “dog people.”
One more thing before I go: tomorrow we are supposed to find out the sex of our baby. I’m so excited I can’t stand it! (by the way, they told me my due date is January 12th instead of sometime in February like we thought.)
I finished my silk garden socks!
I made some yummy cookies. (Orange honey cream sandwiches)
And I’m still working away at my rabbit mural.

I’m almost done with my silk garden socks. They would be done now if I hadn’t gotten distracted my new WIP: the baby room. I was suddenly overcome by the urge to paint the baby room. It’s coming along very nicely, but it’s very time-consuming so the knitting has been stalled momentarily. I’ll post some pictures pretty soon.
Edited to add:
Here are some pictures. The light is very bad for pictures in this room, but I did my best. Just know that it’s unfinished and the colors aren’t really that weird in real life.
