My Crafty Mammy Bag. Holds a lotta knittin'!

I Love Mister Rogers

What do you do with the mad that you feel
When you feel so mad you could bite?
When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong...
And nothing you do seems very right?
What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
Do you pound some clay or some dough?
Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
Or see how fast you go?
It's great to be able to stop
When you've planned a thing that's wrong,
And be able to do something else instead
And think this song:
I can stop when I want to
Can stop when I wish.
I can stop, stop, stop any time.
And what a good feeling to feel like this
And know that the feeling is really mine.

Really, I do knit

Right now I'm working on the Baby Surprise Jacket by Elizabeth Zimmermann. It's very fun and I think I'm going to make about 4 of them right off the bat, because there is an unsettling amount of pregnancy in my social strata lately! Good thing I knit or I'd be winding up in the baby shower poorhouse (as opposed to the yarn addict/photo supply poorhouse that is my preference).

Here's the baby surprise jacket so far (click pics to see close-up):












and here's a lovely scarf thingy I'm making for my mom,
it is soooooo close to being done...
