		<title>Gauging the Situation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before James was born (and he&#8217;s nearly two now!), I would get up in the morning, make tea, and sit in my living room rocking chair, drinking my tea and knitting for a while before the day began officially. I returned to the chair in the evenings and knit for at least another half-hour before [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hemlock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month, rather than tackle any of the numerous projects lurking around the house that need to be completed&#8211;a post for another day&#8211;I began the Hemlock Ring Blanket (chart on the Rainey Sisters blog). I&#8217;ve been attracted to this lovely blanket since I first saw Jared Flood&#8217;s version back in 2007, but not being a [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I&#8217;ve Learned about Baby Knitting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, hello there. It&#8217;s been a while. Some people seem to be easily able to manage wrangling a baby, working, and continuing to knit, but apparently I am not one of them. No matter. James is thirteen months old now, and I&#8217;m finding a little bit of time here and there to knit. And for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finished Object: Not-So-Derivative Top</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This top was a long, long time in the making. You may not recognize it, because it used to be orange. I won&#8217;t revisit the entire tale of its genesis, since it is already well-documented, and my memory is pretty fuzzy at any rate. The short version is that this garment started out as a [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Stocking Pattern</title>
		<description><![CDATA[James is ten weeks old as of yesterday, and I have in fact managed to knit a few times in the last several weeks &#8212; with him sleeping in a wrap on my chest, naturally, as he is a Baby Who Does Not Like To Be Put Down. And that is okay. He is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thankful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year, I&#8217;m profoundly thankful for my son, James Cormac, who was born at home on Monday, November 24, 2008. He weighed 7 pounds, 14 ounces at birth and is 19.5 inches long. He already makes an excellent knitwear model. We couldn&#8217;t be more delighted with him.]]></description>

		<title>Hoping the Baby Is Not Allergic to Wool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After I finished the February Lady Sweater, I got it into my head that it would be fun to knit a baby hat. So I pulled out a bag of miscellaneous partial balls of DK-weight superwash wool and got to work. Next thing I knew, the bag of leftover yarn was empty, and I had [...]]]></description>
