Well, our dear friends' grandson (incidentally, Amelia's cousin) was born Sunday, so I can share this picture of my no longer a surprise project! This sweet little wubbie is something I've had in my queue for a while, and now I had the perfect reason to make it.

I would be a lot further along on this cuff if I hadn't made a bad decision and then just kept going. It was nearly finished, but I really didn't like how it looked where it attached to the live stitches on the sleeve. So, I undid the cabled cuff, and started over again today.

The Diary of a Country Priest is taking me longer than I expected, mostly because we are up super early in the morning and are exhausted at night. I had hoped to have it finished by now, but maybe in the next week. There are so many little good words in this book from Monsieur Le Père.

Also, I have a beta knit opportunity for Rih. It is finished, tech edited, and is awaiting modeled photography. If you are interested in knitting it, please e-mail me. There are five sizes from infant to adult woman. This is a quick knit, with seamless construction, and enough texture and change to keep things interesting.

Linking to Unraveled Wednesday.
