Mimmo’s Barlett Raglan, started April 30th, 2008, finished May 21st, 2008
Pattern: Basic Top-down Raglan
Yarn: Bartlett Yarn Fisherman 2-ply
Needles: Size 8
Dimensions: Child’s size 4 with extra long sleeves
Pattern Notes: Should fit next year as well, though I may need to add to the body length
Would I knit it again? Yes, I’ll be knitting at least 1-2 of these a year forever.

we saw the Dr. on Thursday and while things are moving in the right general direction there is no real progress to report. We have another Drs apt on Wednesday with another ultrasound to check her weight and fluid levels and provided she hasn’t arrived on her own before then, the Dr. plans to induce on Friday.

I’ve been sooooooo tired today. I’ve taken a couple of naps when I’ve been able but I’m having trouble even keeping my eyes open – its likely to be an early night tonight. Perhaps its a sign? Maybe my body is trying to rest up while I can?

I’ve finished the sweater and the blanket (it blocked at 37″) and I’ve cast on the hat but haven’t really worked on it yet. I’ve also started a sweater for Mimmo – a basic, top-down raglan that I’m knitting out of some Barlett Fisherman I picked up at the Shearing Day at Gore Place in Waltham recently. I’ve got the top yoke done and about 1/2 of one sleeve – at 4 st/inch it goes pretty quick . . . I’m sizing it to be large when he starts wearing it next fall with the idea it will be like an oversized wool sweatshirt next winter and should still fit him the following winter as well . . . hopefully!
