more finished objects

Teensy baby things are so fast to knit! The following is a hat for a year-old girl and socks for a two-month-old baby girl. I hope to get another pair of socks finished this weekend (for a two-month-old baby boy) and then I’ll just have one baby thing left.

The hat my also be a bit big (damned stretchy silk-bamboo yarn!) but since it’s lace, I told the father that if it is, he can just thread a ribbon through the lace and tie it in a bow to fit her. That way she’s got room to grow into it and I think it would be really cute.

(The sheep is a souvenir from New Zealand. She is a bungie jumper – hangs upside down from a suction cup and baas when you turn her right side up.)

storm update

The weather here has been freakishly calm all day. The typhoon slowed down and lapsed into a tropical storm, but as far as I can tell, the center should be right over us. What seems to be happening is not so much that we’re in the eye, but that now all the rain is on the back side of it, in sort of a wide C-shape and we’re in the cup of it. Which means there’s probably more to come. Meanwhile, Ted threw his back out yesterday,so we’re having a quiet day around here anyway.
