Baby, It's Warm Outside

I've been trying to work on the blanket for Baby P, but it's hard. Multiple reasons, which I will put in list form to make them look more impressive.

1. It's hot out to hold a blanket on your lap while knitting.
2. It's not for me, or for a family member, and I don't see the friend it is for very often.
3. I suspect I will not get it done before the baby is born. Unless the baby is maybe 3 months late. Or I do nothing but knit (this blanket) for the next two weeks.
4. The Mystery Stole calls me.
5. So do the Monkey socks.
6. And I am supposed to be writing/editing.
7. Plus I spend lots of time with M.

Okay. That's more than enough. And hey, no one said they were good reasons. But there is progress on the blanket! I will distract you from my pitiful excuses for not knitting the gift project with pictures!

Look, see! Progress!

Not enough, though. Must work on it more.

Anyway, that's all for now. I have been knitting the monkey socks and the mystery stole as well, but I don't have new pictures of them yet. Besides, the blanket needs some blog love. Maybe then I'll get motivated to finish it.
