Here’s one off my list of baby sweaters to make. I gave this to my friend Kari, Saturday at her baby shower.

The pattern is from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, but if you plan to knit it, please check the website for corrections. Basically the whole pattern is wrong. It was totally silly of me not to check the corrections first, I knew that the book has lots of mistakes. So I pretty much knit this sweater twice.

The yarn is Rowan Cash Cotton, oh my is it soft! (35% cotton, 25% polyamide, 18% angora, 13% viscose, 9% cashmere) and most importantly machine washable. I made the 2nd biggest size, so it’s about 12 months.

I’m working on my knit list, wow is it long! I’ve still got 3 baby sweaters to go (although two are in various stages of completion.) The rest of my list can be found here. There needs to be more knitting time in the day.

We have our DVR. Did Bresnan call us to say, “Hi your DVR is in, we’ll have a technician out to install it at our earliest convenience.”? No. Did they call to say, “Your DVR is in, come pick it up?” No. Did I call to get a huge run around to finally find out they’re in? Yes.

We just got back from spending 45 minutes at the local office trying to sort everything out. Trust me it was quite a mess. When we finally got our DVR, there was something on our account that they couldn’t fix that would cause it to not work. So with guarantees that they’d fix it, we were given some free Pay-Per-View coupons and sent on our way. We got two coupons. We can only use one a month and the expire March 31, 2006. Thanks Bresnan Communications. All I have to say is that if I can’t watch Battlestar Gallactica tonight, my last fit is going to be nothing compared to the wrath I’m going to unleash.

Honor is feeling much better today, and the rest of us are feeling fine. I could tell last night that he was starting to feel better because the space between the times he was getting in trouble great decreased.

Honor came down with a fever around dinner time last night. He fell asleep on my shoulder a few minutes later and I transferred him to his bed. A couple of hours later he woke up, so I put a movie on for him and Eden in my room. Awhile later Eden came out to tell me that Honor was puking all over my bed. yum. He puked all night long, trying to get some sleep on the pallet I made for him on our bedroom floor.

Today he’s still got a little fever, but is keeping food down (so far!). He’s relaxing on the couch with his Batman pillow and Batman blanket wearing his Batman jammies. The puke bowl is close at hand. And I’m tired.
