It’s hard to believe that my baby is already 6 months old (well he was 6 months yesterday). That it’s only been 6 months and there are already things I miss. Like his tiny newborn clothes and how he slept all the time. I miss most how he used to nap on my chest. It was the best feeling ever. …
How I Stay Productive with a Baby

How to Fix Dropped Stitches
When I was a newbie knitter I always dropped stitches. I used to be scared to find a dropped stitch because that meant that I had to tink or frog my work to get to my mistake. And heaven forbid I rip the stitch down a few more rows while I was tinking or frogging. They used to give me …

5 Months Old
I can’t believe my baby is already 5 months old. The time really has gone by fast. It feels like only yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. James at 5 months: Rolls over from his back to his tummy, only on his right side. And a few times he’s gone from tummy to back but it’s usually the …
