Brief Update....

[jadecat]

And no, not about boxers vs. briefs. :)

Though boxers are handsome dogs, and I used to think I would like one. They tend to be very stubborn though, from what I've read. Love the look though.

Speaking of dogs, my brother and sis-in-law have three. They also called me, well he did, they're not one of those cutesy couples that does that 'each one with a phone extension' thing for conversations. Where was I? Oh yes, brother called me yesterday- they were at the ultrasound and it's a BOY! :) So come late December/early January we will be welcoming Ethan Matthew to the clan. :) What else this means:

jiffjenn, sarbah77, esmerel and kat_lindquist (or any other crocheter-types out there)I need help!! Need advice regarding crochet type things for a lil boyo. My mom is already making a blankie, but hey- more than one could be good right? HELP! :)

Umm, other than that... have the next two days off. Going to spend much time with my husband and little time anywhere near the computer. :)

So I must go now and finish a few things up before the work day is over. :) Okay, I love you bubye!

Mr Bear is an Ethan :-) and if Furuba9 had been a boy, her middle name would have been Matthew! Congrats!

I'd say another blanket is always good (you gotta figure one will be in the laundry), otherwise a little sweater is nice, or if it'll bein winter, a cap. I never did booties, they're so cute but a lot of winter baby stuff has footies. I did have little socks but they just come off half the time anyway.

Have fun!! ;-)

Congratulations on the newest edition to the family. To help, can you give me the skill level you are at... i.e. what stitches do you know. I know that you know a chain stitch, and a double crochet, but do you know how to read a pattern?

The one I am working for Mrs. M's is pretty simple, but I am sure I can find some easier ones. Also check out www.freepatterns.com. You will have to register (but it is free!)And if you can read a pattern it can be pretty simple.

I would say that having more than one blanket is always welcome, not only for the laundry factor, but times of the year. Having a heavier-weight blanket and a lighter-weight one is always good. That way your gift can be used year round! :D

Congratulations for being a soon-to-be Auntie! :D
