Hei-Lo Can You Go?

Yes, yarn name puns are tired. But I felt compelled nonetheless.

Did you see this article in the NY Times about a woman knitting on her way to deliver her baby? Check out what she says about her gauge!

Although I'm not having a baby (or even biologically capable of doing so), I have been knitting. Not on a taxi, but on my sofa, while watching TV and being glad that my shift at work is over.

The Norge 2000 sleeve grows. And it appears to be right on the gauge, which is a good thing.

See?

It's amazing how mothers can remain so calm during the birthing process. Interestingly enough I can see her right after a contraction saying in a very non-commital way: Hmph, I dropped a stitch...oh well.

She might have been so calm since it was her second child. Those first time mothers are a mess during labor (I know...my son is almost 4).

I just wish I had picked up knitting before I had him...

Karen: Imagine how much more knitting time you would have had!
