Baby Bump No. Six

Here is my self portrait taken today. I am 38 weeks pregnant with baby number six.

Shag carpet

Ok so the yarn harlot has mentioned about the risk of intarsia becoming a shag carpet but I think I out did myself with this one. See above pic.
I was using Rowan Big Wool which I like because it is such a fast knit but this time that advantage worked against me and I had finished the entire front of the sweater before I noticed it was all wrong in just so many ways - color, shape and size.
Luckily I have little boys just looking for any chance to cause destruction so I instructed them to go to it and rip back. I told them they were helping me "frog" and they loved it even more jumping around the room like, you guessed, frogs!
The problem only started when we got to the intarsia part which I have now given up on and will have to resort to using as stuffing in the future.
This is one knitting project I am glad to see the back of and hopefully I will have something better to show you soon.

Snow In Dublin

We had enough snow for snowmen and snowball fights after the holidays. It has been cold here but now it is improving and all we have to contend with horizontal rain again.

London at Christmas

Visiting London over the holidays with a friend was the best present. We had such fun and for an extra treat went to see "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" the play at the Novello Theater - it was fantastic.

New Year morning 2010

Just a little glimpse of life in the Siegel Family kitchen on New Years morning. We didn't make it to midnight as all our days start early regardless of bedtimes! But we did have a glass of champagne at nine with family. Hope 2010 brings lots of good times we are certainly off to a sweet start.
