Let the baby knitting commence

I'm almost finished with a baby sweater, made out of this yarn - Trekking Pro Natura. It's a lovely yarn, made from wool and bamboo.

The sweater is for a friend's baby shower, so I'm not going to post a picture of it at this point. Knowing I need to have this done by July 28 has knocked me out of my knitting rut. Well, getting to the second trimester of my pregnancy has also helped. I finally have some more energy and the pregnancy is starting to feel more real now - and both of those things are making me much more motivated to pick up the needles!

I stopped at Double Ewe yesterday and picked up three baby sweater patterns and some yarn. I have many more than three baby projects on my mind at this point. The sweater I'm currently finishing is of my own design and it's been such a satisfying experience designing it that I'm starting to get a few ideas for other baby sweaters I'd like to design.

I can sense already that I'm really going to enjoy designing baby knits. They're small, don't require a lot of yarn, and the trial and error part of designing isn't as painful when you're working on such a small scale.
