Everything, Nothing, and I'm a Middle Child

I know! I'm not even sure what she was knitting - it looked incredibly complicated, with five different needles, some of them with caps, some of them capped only at one end, a safety pin holding a whole bunch of stitches for later.

Update: so I went and asked her about it. It's an outfit for Liam. Someone showed her this really clever little outfit for babies that looked fabulous, but it was expensive and made out of Alpaca. Alpaca can't be machine washed without felting it, so it seems pretty impractical to make children's clothes out of it.

At any rate, she decided to make one from a picture, and that's what she's doing.

what an inspiration. i can't think about this very much, because then i wouldn't get any work done.

mara, a thousand times, my heart.

love you.
