I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving with lots of family, friends, and food. It is my favorite holiday, and though we couldn't spend it with the family this year, we did go over to our friends' house and have a great time. We also had another gathering of more people last night at another house, so I've been eating well the past few days.
It was an extra-special holiday this year, as will be Christmas, since it is the last year that we will be without our little figlet (on the outside, that is). Juan and I are expecting to meet him or her at the end of May, and of course are very excited. I've been restraining myself in terms of knitting, since there are lots of holiday gifts to finish as well as left-over projects from last winter's yarn that have been queued up for almost a year now. It is all non-washable wool, so I can't re-appropriate for baby items, but I will probably buy a new supply of baby-friendly yarn out East. Plus, I want to know first if I'm knitting for a girl or boy, though I know there are plenty of gender-neutral colors and patterns out there.
I just noticed that Knit Collective has come out with their Winter 2008 issue. This is an on-line magazine that's free to read the articles, and then you buy the individual patterns that you like from the designer herself. This issue had some adorable coats in it. I especially love Sylvi and Heroine. Kate Gilbert's Sweet Pea Coat is reminiscent of the Drops Eskimo jacket that I knit two of last year, one for Meredith and one for me, but it includes the added feature I wish the Eskimo Jacket had: pockets!
I plan on taking pictures of more recently knitted items this weekend, and will probably post them later today or tomorrow.

Hello, I´m Beatriz77 from Ravelry. I live in Vigo. You send me a message long time ago, in august. My english is very bad (una caca vamos). I´m sorry. These last months I didn´t live in Vigo and I didn´t have internet... only read e-mails. Now already I am of return in house and I come back to ravelry... you are now in my friends... I read to you...
Vanessa, Sylvi es realmente precioso; es uno de mis favoritos de Twist Collective junto con Vaila, Heroine y Stormsvale.
Tus tejidos de bebe quedaron lindisimos :)
Congratulations to you and your family :) That is such exciting news, did you say it before and I totally spaced? Hope you're feeling well, and enjoying the wait :)
Congratulations, Vanessa! I'm so excited for you! Now we have to get together when you're in Boston for some decaf coffee and healthy snacks!
Congrats on the growing little one! How exciting!! May is a great month to have a baby- you get to avoid being preggo in the hot summer. My little one was due the end of May too but she stuck it out a few extra days so she was just barely a junebug. I hope you're feeling well and can't wait to see all the baby knits you make!
Oh my! Congratulations! I hope it is all going well for you. I am pregnant too with our second and am due in July again. I've been very sick with the baby, but finally starting to feel better. I hope all is well with you.
