It's a Girl

So we went yesterday to our gender ultrasound and found out we are having our first baby girl! We had the boys with us too, Sawyer the youngest didn't have a clue what was going on. But I think Brodie,who is 5; understands about the baby in mommy's belly. I'm so excited! It's funny too because my dh' s parents had two boys and when a girl too.

I've already started knitting a pair of Baby leggings for her too! I'm using Knit Picks Felici in Mixed Berries. Which I have had for a long time now. I was going to sale it or trade it but once I got preggo with this girl, I thought I would keep it around just in case the baby was a girl. Well, that worked out well! I need more girly yarn, I don't have alot, since we have 2 boys and I barely knit anything for myself. Now I just need some money to buy some.

We really don't have a clue on her name yet. But I like Lucy, River and Rory. With the boys we used family names for their middle names. Brodie's middle name is my father-in-laws middle name and Sawyer's is three of our grandfather's names. My mom's middle name is Gail, so we may use that. Or my great grandmother's which is Rose. We still have another 4 or so months to figure it out!

Curly Purly Soakers

I knit these two Curly Purly Soakers for a mama on diaperswapper.com. She dyed that yarn and she sells it too! The yarns are Georiga Peach and Mermaid colorways.

You can find her yarn and cloth diapers here: http://hyenacart.com/theappleorchard/. She is Eco Wrapz. You should check her out!

Anyways, back to the soakers. This is the 6th and 7th time I've used the Curly Purly Soaker pattern and I love it. I used US 3,6, and 8 needles. The soakers are Med - large. It only took me 6 days to knit them, which I think is pretty good! The pictures are taken before they were washed.


Baby News: I'm 19 wks and one day now. I have my gender ultrasound tomorrow at 330! I'm so excited and nervous. I hope Baby C shows us the goods! I'm hoping for a girl! We have 2 boys and thats better than 2 girls, but I still want my little girl!

Number 1

It's the first day of my new blog. Nobody will probably read it but yeah, its here!

I'm Alex, a mother and a knitter! I stay at home with my 2 boys and have one on the way! Due June 23rd! We live in Kentucky and no, we are not rednecks. :) I've been knitting for almost 5 years now. I love wool and cotton! I'm addicted to Ravelry too. I'm Knit~it~Good on there too. I love reading other knitters and crafty people's blogs so I thought why not start my own.

I guess I should start this out with a little knitting. I knit this hat for Baby C(in my belly), just in case it's a girl! I found the pattern on Ravelry. But here is the link: http://littlesesameknits.blogspot.com/2006/12/spur-of-moment-baby-hat.html

We should find out the sex of the baby on Friday, and I will really starting knitting for it! I'm so excited, but the next 4 days are going to be so slow!!!
