(It’s a doll).

Can you even stand it? It’s so cute! I knit this little baby hat for the shower I’m going to tonight. I used Tahki’s Cotton Classic, and the pattern is in this book.

I made the preemie size because I wanted it to be a truly newborn hat, not that 0-6 months size that is way too big for a new baby.

In house news, we came to verbal mutual acceptance on the house last night. No, seriously. We put an offer on the house sometime after 6pm, faxed it over, went to look at it again with the in-laws, came home, and got a phone call from our realtor with a counter offer, which we accepted. So, as of 9:30 or so last night, we have mutual acceptance, although right now it is still just verbal. We will sign everything today, and we’re trying to get the inspection set for tomorrow morning.

I can’t believe how fast this has gone! A little over a week ago, I had no idea we would even be looking to move, and now, we have an offer on a house that has been accepted.

Here’s hoping ours sells as quick.

I need to pack.

V was so sick yesterday. I couldn’t get her coherent until late afternoon, when her eyes finally stopped rolling back in her head, and her fever dropped. I made her drink some Gatorade.

Fortunately, she is feeling better today, so I’m going to take a shower then head off to my sister-in-law’s to get boxes.

We’re selling ours. Here’s a link to our web-ad if interested.

I was expecting to have to say this when the baby came, but with the impending move/house selling nonsense, it’s happening sooner than I had planned. Basically, there isn’t going to be much in the way of knitting news around here in the near future, but I’m going to continue to blog. I love writing, it’s good for me. So while it may not be overly exciting to you to read about moving, packing, cleaning, house selling, etc., that’s going to be my life for the next couple of months, and thus, I’m going to be writing about it.

Although I have to say that I still want to knit that Superman baby blanket for junior, and a wee little hat. And I have two friends delivering babies soon that I need to make gifts for. (One of the baby showers is tomorrow night, ahem, and I need to get going on something).

So there will be some knitting content, but I promise you it will be more of the “hey! look at the 1/2 inch of sock I knitted yesterday!” variety. Not too exciting.

Sooooo, today I called the roofing company about roofing our house as quickly as possible, the waste management company about getting a huge dumpster delivered, the fitness equipment store about moving and re-setting up my weights when the time comes, the building inspector (we love him) about his availability, and I can’t go and pick up the mountain of boxes from my sister-in-law like I’d planned, because poor Veronica is so sick, she can’t even utter a coherent sentence or keep her eyes focused.

Lame.

We’re planning to place an offer on the house we love tonight. I’m making a zillion lists of things we need to do before listing ours. (Wanna cute house? email me). And I’m starting to pack unnecessary things to de-clutter for showing.

The plus side of all of this?

I NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MAKING SPACE IN OUR LITTLE BEDROOMS FOR THE BABY’S STUFF!

I was going to have to get rid of furniture I didn’t want to get rid of. I was going to have to move, sort, throw away, reorganize, etc. just to get a dresser in there to hold the baby’s stuff, and now, I can spend that energy on getting ready to move. So really, it isn’t that much extra work than I would have had to do anyway.

Ok, ok, so it’s a TON more work and stress, BUT, there is a lot that would be overlap. So I can feel better about that.
