Lorelai Hope!She's finally here 🙂 We've all got a lot of learning to do, but we're so so so happy with her. Last week on Wednesday I went to have a biophysical profile / nonstress test done to check everything out because she wasn't here yet. They found that my amniotic fluid levels were low.… Continue reading Introducing…
Beep.
Hi there! You have reached Dan & Becca. We haven't forgotten to call you. The baby just isn't here yet. Trust us - we will let you know when the kiddo decides to arrive. Or when the doctors decide to "bring in the dynamite". If you still are interested in talking to us, leave a… Continue reading Beep.

No baby yet. I don't have an early bird, the bun is still in the oven and the little butterball is still getting roasted. We had a really nice Thanksgiving at my folks, though it was different - Nana was missed, Virginia was there and the in-laws didn't stay too long (my MIL had an… Continue reading Bored
Jive Turkey
First off, thanks to those who commented about the police tape scarf - the consensus is that it is a good idea, so I jumped in and cast on. So far I've got "Do Not" done - I'm going to adjust it slightly so it says "Do Not Cross Crime Scene" and repeat that. I'm… Continue reading Jive Turkey
Another Hat & Scarf idea for a teen guy?
In keeping my mind off the fact that the due date is one week away (and the added part of that which is that the due date is really just the midpoint of the two weeks prior and post in which baby could arrive) and keeping my mind from wondering if every little twitch or… Continue reading Another Hat & Scarf idea for a teen guy?
An Unoriginal Post
A finished object! The Unoriginal Hat by the Yarn Harlot. Yarn: Fat Sheep Yarn, Raspberry colorway, from Farmhouse YarnsMods: I used two US11 (8.00mm) circulars because I don't have 7mm dpns but I do have a big head. Other notes: It could be pregnancy brain or just not paying attention, but for whatever reason I… Continue reading An Unoriginal Post

Mish Mash
My ravelry shirt arrived on Friday - yay! I haven't tried it on yet - saving that until after the baby arrives. Which according to the doctor at Thursday's appointment the kid is not coming out any time soon. But he has been wrong. But he's also old so I should listen to him. Whatever.… Continue reading Mish Mash
Seaweed
New magknits is up today! The socks are interesting - I'll keep them on the back burner for now. What really struck me was seaweed - what a neat idea!! I would love to start on it now, but don't yet have the baby to include in the measurements - maybe I could use my… Continue reading Seaweed
Dust in the Wind
I finally completed my largest knitting project to date - the tilted duster has all the seams complete and ends woven in! Excuse the poor lighting in the photos:It needs buttons and probably a blocking too (haven't ever done that - little nervous). But I also like it with the collar down:I'm undecided about it.… Continue reading Dust in the Wind
