We have some exciting news in the family, my SIL is pregnant with baby #2 and due right before Christmas! Her first baby born last year was a summer baby, but this one is a winter baby in need of lots of knitted things to keep him/her toasty and warm :) We're talking sweaters, hats booties, and of course a nice thick crib blanket for those chilly winter nights. Having 2 babies born at the end of October, I know how to dress a winter baby. I've actually already picked out a layette set and CO for the sweater yesterday. I think I may try a log cabin pattern for the blanket, I know there is one in my "Mason Dixon Knitting" book. If I double the yarn it should make a nice thick crib blanket that a little bugger wouldn't wiggle off in the middle of the night.
On other knitting news I finished the Diamond Shawl from the Alpaca yarn that my secret pal spoiled me with. I'll get some pics up along with the baby sweater later on tonight when River isn't sitting on my lap :) I loved working with that yarn, my first time working with Alpaca. I made it a shoulder shawl so I even have enough left over for a scarf!

Just to let you know..I'm off on a short trip but when I get back, I'll be posting one last surprise pack. It should arrive just in time for the end of SP10 and THE BIG REVEAL.
Hope your first SP experience has been fun for you.
