Next on the Needles

I'm going to make another baby sweater for Drew.  Mom helped me look at some patterns, and suggested I pick one with raglan sleeves instead of set-in sleeves.  I ended up picking the Green Zebra Sweater.  I've been into stripes lately--they're a good way to add some interest to a project, but keep it simple at the same time.

I also want to make a Mommy and Baby Monster.  This pattern is so cute.  I think Drew would love putting the baby in and out of the pouch--and it reminds me of us since I still wear Drew in the Ergo carrier just about everyday!  As a side note, the Ergo was a great purchase.  I bought it when Drew was about four months old (the Baby Bjorn was really hurting my back as he got heavier), and wondered how much I'd really wear him in a carrier as he got older.  I've ended up using it a ton--he is happy as can be to do chores with me in the house when he's in the Ergo, and it's great for going on walks to shops in the neighborhood that are too small for a stroller.  We both wear our coats, and into the Ergo he goes!  I really recommend it.
