What I did on my...the opposite of summer vacation.
So, there's a lovely lady here at work who is fit-to-burst with baby boy. I'm 99% sure that no one here knows I blog, so I'm comfortable saying that this is what I made her:
This incredibly oversaturated photo was taken in the wee hours of the morning, after I realized that I really ought to weave in the ends before giving this as a gift. Two strands of Baby Ull held together. Really, both ends of each ball. But still! I'm super impressive. And do you want to know why?
I made up the pattern. Out of my very own head.
I was going to get Lucy to pose, but it was seriously past her bedtime, and I didn't want to wake her up if I could help it.
However, since I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning, and then realized that our secret super surprise for the lady at work isn't until TOMORROW (sigh) I'll get another chance tomorrow.
I want one of these for Lu now, maybe in pink and green? Am I totally weird? You can tell me if I am...But be gentle.
And, because I know you're all busy bodies and want to see:

Congratulations! Beautiful fair isle work! I'm thinking of the Shel Silverstein poem that says to put something in the world that's never been there before. Because it's such a cool feeling when we do, y'know?
Nice colorwork. I love blue and yellow. Your friend is lucky to have you knit for her!
