Beatrice for Summer

Even though I have not been blogging, I have been knitting.
Not much.
A friend of ours is pregnant and her daughter Summer is expected to arrive tomorrow.
I started this little cardigan mid June. Beatrice is by Jane Ellison and is published in the Mirasol book 4.
I used the suggested Mirasol Samp'a yarn.
The yarn is a 100% organic cotton DK yarn.
The yarn is lovely to knit with, but I did not think it was very different from other organic cotton yarns.
I knitted the smallest size, 0-1 years.
I actually think 6-12 months is a more accurate sizing.
Somehow blogger or our computer is not happy with the rotated photos today. I uploaded and deleted them a few times but still they won't behave.
Miss T is doing well. She has started to go to bed later and I get even less knitting time.
Now we are waiting for Summer to arrive. Miss T and I will go out soon and get a card and maybe even a balloon. She loves balloons.

PS: Summer arrived today 31. July at 11.54am weighing in at 8 pounds and 4 ounces.
Congratulations to Virginia, Geoff and big brother James.

Two years old

Our little Miss has just turned two.
We feel very happy and blessed to have her.
She is a very girly girl and loves dresses and jewellery, oh and bags.
She is bubbly and chatters all day long.
Her favourite song is; Happy Birthday!
She sings: Happy to you, happy to you...
She loves Perry the cat, he is now called Hurry.
She makes sure we always get some cat food when we go to the supermarket. She loves going to the Hurry aisles.
She is still small for her age. If I ran everywhere like she does, I would be small and skinny as well.
It has been very busy two years, worth every second. I love being at home with her and I am very grateful that I can.
