This is one of those projects that has been taking much longer than I expected.  I think it is all the stockinette stitches, which tend to bore me.  Or maybe I shouldn’t be blaming the poor stockinette and just confess that I have the attention span of a door knob these days.  It is going to be something for Laloo like she is calling herself these days.  She might be 2 and a half but boy does she have enough attitude to fill up 2 s ix year olds.  This is my first knitted garment and I am working on it only when she’s asleep or at preschool because she usually loves to try on the stuff I make for her while I am still working on them.  I am loving how it is turning out but I am kind of worried it will be on the short size so I am thinking of working a few extra rows at the end.  I love the color.  It is a deep rich red which I usually wouldn’t have gone for but I took my husband with me to pick out the colors.  It is soft and lovely to work with too, I used this yarn before but to crochet with and loved it.  It is a little harder to knit with because I keep feeling that it will just slide off my needles and since I suck at picking up dropped stitches I am terrified of that fact.  I should have some left after I am done so I am hoping to make leg warmers or a hat.   Here’s to hoping that it will turn out as cute as I am already imagining it.
