  hey, fellow blogging friends! This guy wants to know why we blog: urlLink http://ydoublog.blogspot.com/2004/08/why-do-people-blog.html so go forth and answer his question:) I am in a giddy type mood...I think it is the sugar from the Gatorade I have been sipping on all day. I decided since I can't find an awesome gift for my sis, she is stuck with maternity clothes. Lame-o, I know.
We talked today...she is stressing out because of her size. I told her, please, do NOT obsess! Every woman is so different...every pregnancy is so different. She is so concerned because she knows I didn't start showing until 6months...umm, yeah, but remember me at the end??? Plus, she is significantly shorter than I am, that makes a big difference too!!! Not much else. I decided I will be knitting her a baby blanket for the shower in October. I found a pattern that is pretty cute and looks easy...we'll see. I haven't picked up the needles for quite some time! I went to a yarn store yesterday and was asking an opinion of one of the ladies that works there...big mistake. This store has always had a stuck-up attitude...I have knit for so long and I will grace you with my knowledge but there is no other way than mine.
So, basically, she told me idea was stupid and she didn't know (and I quote) "what is in young mother's heads these days..." Wow...let me put back the $40+ worth of yarn I have and relieve you from having such an ignoramous in your blessed presence. So, I will go to the other yarn store that I really do like much better...I just was in the neighborhood of the other.
I will laugh if the lady ends up right...haha! That would teach me! Basically, I just want to add a "fancy" yarn in with the plain yarn on the smaller sections...oh, it is too difficult to explain...if there are knitters out there, let me know, and I will attempt to explain.
Her contention was that the baby would chew on the fancy yarn...okay, one of the yarns I picked out was like the whisper yarn, the kind with the longer "hair" strands...but the other was eros or something like that...it just has color blocks in it, nothing would actually stick out. Anyway, my mom, who does not knit, says she thinks I should do it. She said everyone always loves the "creations" I do so why should this be any different? I'll see what yarn I find today.
