One of my gfs is having a baby near the end of June (read: had her baby yesterday). Apparently this baby is male – so they dubbed
him baby-bob. Then I started feverishly
working on a cardigan for a baby-bob so that he would have a lovely giftie for
when he was born.
The cardigan came out so well; I am very pleased.
The pattern was a touch difficult to follow as it was all written in paragraphs as opposed to bullet points. It worked out pretty well all in all though. Somehow I managed to make two front sides that were the same and the seaming – though tedious (as always) – was not as horrible as it could have been.

Then came the search for buttons. I happened to be by a quilting store and they
had these amazing square buttons that looked so cute – but they were $0.99 a
piece! I needed 4. That seemed like a lot for 4 buttons. Then I looked down, there before my wondering
eyes was a bucket of buttons and a ladle – no I’m not kidding – with a label
that read “button soup.” So I filled a bag of buttons – and made sure to
include some round beige buttons – and paid only $3 for more buttons than I
could possibly ever use. This, of
course, does not mean that I will not be on the hunt for buttons again. It just means I have a better chance of
starting my button search at home.
Oh… right. I almost
forgot. I made a blankie for baby-bob
too. I’ve made this pattern before and
it is easy and comes out so pretty. I
changed the border to something more akin to the border for this pattern and
managed to sneak just the slightest hint of blue into baby-bob’s lovely new
blanket.
