With the beginning of a New Year it seems rather auspicious to also be heralding the birth of a new child (a future knitter surely).
Sophie Arabella was born to Heidi and Mr. Absinthe on Friday, Jan 12, 2007, @ 2:58 PM. A healthy bairn at 8 lbs 11 oz, 22.5". Mama and baby are doing well and Sophie is the most beautiful wee thing. Makes me ovaries twitch I tell you. Parents are tired but happy and so in love with the fruit of their loins!
In the mail was this lovely little gem from the Sexy Knitters Club for the Sizzle knit a long. Filled with naughty little knit items. I don't see myself knitting a cotton bikini anytime soon but there are a few items in there that I have my eye on.
As far as my own knitting goes, Mariah has been resurrected from the ashes and I'm enjoying the cable work. After some time and much experience - Mariah the second time around is a lot more engaging and I'm looking forward to getting it done soon and have a few modifications in mind.
Oh Nancy,
Thank you so much for posting the pictures of the long awaited Sophie! She's beautiful....and I can tell that Heidi and Mr and VERY happy. I'm sooooo excited for them and wish I could come to visit sooner!

Ohhhh a very pretty baby, I loved knitting for that size, but be warned when they get to 11,12 and nearly 14 for instance they are no longer so cute and they have opinions, sigh. Deep sigh. However she looks cute and sweet natured maybe she won't grow up to be a daughter that mentions her mothers chunky little legs, more sighing.... In fact I reckon she won't be that kind of daughter at all, she looks so peaceful, even more sighing.

Sorry to have to bother you with this!
I’m in the process of doing some massive ring maintenance for the FiberArts Bloggers ring and I am contacting you because there’s a problem you may have noticed with your code. I will go ahead and e-mail you the basic ring code now, but if you don’t get it please let me know.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions/concerns. Also, while I'm here, I noticed it's been nearly a month since you've posted. If you could just put up a quick post to let everyone know you're there, that would be great. Once you have your code fixed up, if you want to send me a note I’d appreciate it, so I can check it out. Thanks!
Joni
