Raison d'être

The picture with the baby Raglan Sweater and the Hat sum up why I'm writing this blog. I did the finishing work for the sweater on 6 Jan. 08, but I knit them both months ago, and I can hardly remember anything about them, much less the patterns, or who wrote them. I do know the sweater was in a Debbie Bliss book for knitting for babies, but I don't know which one. The hat was in another book, author unknown. That really gets me, because the pattern is excellent. I love it! The hat has a little swirly pattern to the crown, and the author used this really cool stitch for a few rows around the band that keeps the hat from curling out so it keeps it's shape. And, it had the cutest booties in it too, of which I knit only one- of two colors!! lol So now, they are lone booties, forever destined to have no mates. Argh, the frustration of my lack of organization!! Previous lack of organization, because I'm getting much better, thank you.
