James is ten weeks old as of yesterday, and I have in fact managed to knit a few times in the last several weeks — 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 little baby, so he gets to dictate the terms. At any rate, the Derivative Top (see teensy picture in the sidebar) is finished except for weaving in the ends and blocking, both of which are on my to-do list. Expect a finished object post sometime in the next two weeks.

The Reason I’m Not Knitting, at 10 Weeks Old

Meanwhile, I have acquired another vintage Bernat Christmas stocking pattern, this one with candles, trees, and wreaths on it. I got permission from Bernat to post it on my site, so I have added pattern, charts, and tips, all accessible via the Vintage Stocking Patterns link in my sidebar. Enjoy!
