 became this: 
It&#8217;s just magical.  Too bad I don&#8217;t have much use for shawls.  I guess I&#8217;m going to have to go buy some dresses to wear with them, and then find someplace to go wearing them.
I&#8217;m now officially in my third trimester, and I&#8217;m starving all the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notafraidofneedles.wordpress.com&blog=3479691&post=41&subd=notafraidofneedles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Waiting on Wires</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the first square of my Raku Suri Stole is finished.  It&#8217;s waiting on the blocking wires I ordered to get here, so I can block it and see how it&#8217;s going to look.

I thought about waiting for the wires before I start the second square, but I want to finish it, and get [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notafraidofneedles.wordpress.com&blog=3479691&post=37&subd=notafraidofneedles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>There&#8217;s carpet at the bottom of the closet!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve spent the past 2 days rearranging and clearing out, and I&#8217;ve really just started.  I&#8217;m not sure how I became such a packrat, but I have way too much stuff that I should have gotten rid of years ago.  I just took my third load of stuff to Goodwill today.  I cleaned out the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notafraidofneedles.wordpress.com&blog=3479691&post=35&subd=notafraidofneedles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>How my toddler taught me about lifelines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not the best day here.  I got to row 37 of the Raku Suri Stole today.  Then Norrie walked over to me and plucked the knitting from my hands, pulling out 2 needles in the process.  I&#8217;ve never used lifelines because I&#8217;ve always been able to catch my mistakes before I got too far, so [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notafraidofneedles.wordpress.com&blog=3479691&post=33&subd=notafraidofneedles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Rip it, Rip it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m about to start hating this shawl.  I got to about row 27 or so last night, and around 2:30 am, I spread it out between my needles for a better look.  It just looked messy.  I could see the design starting, but it still looked messy.  I gave up and went to bed.  First [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notafraidofneedles.wordpress.com&blog=3479691&post=32&subd=notafraidofneedles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The knitting down begins&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I&#8217;ve mentioned before that I usually don&#8217;t have more yarn than the project I&#8217;m working on, one project out, and single oddballs leftover from previous projects.  My stash has started to grow, though, so I&#8217;m making myself knit through it before I buy any more yarn.  First up, Knitpicks Alpaca Cloud in Iris [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notafraidofneedles.wordpress.com&blog=3479691&post=31&subd=notafraidofneedles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Tortoise and the Tot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I went for my morning walk, I found this tiny little turtle about to get squashed by early morning commuters.  I carried him about 1/2 mile back home so Norrie could see him.  She wasn&#8217;t as impressed as I&#8217;d hoped, but I got a cute picture or two out of it.

I just pulled my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notafraidofneedles.wordpress.com&blog=3479691&post=30&subd=notafraidofneedles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My Color Work Needs Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the yarmulke I was working on didn&#8217;t turn out so well.  I don&#8217;t do color work very often, which you can tell by this bunchy, pre-felted&#8230;thing:

The Etsy seller said since it felts, you don&#8217;t have to worry if you&#8217;re no good at color work.  She wasn&#8217;t entirely right.  See, when it&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notafraidofneedles.wordpress.com&blog=3479691&post=28&subd=notafraidofneedles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What are you making?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bought this beautiful pattern on Etsy for a felted yarmulke with a Star of David in the middle, ran to AC Moore to pick up a couple skeins of Patons Classic Wool, sat down to start, and realized I didn&#8217;t have double pointed needles in the right size.  My needle collection is pretty complete, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notafraidofneedles.wordpress.com&blog=3479691&post=27&subd=notafraidofneedles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Planning for the Big Girl Room</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, with a baby brother on the way, Norrie will soon be getting a big girl room.  We&#8217;re going to move her from the nursery which is also the smallest room in the house, to the room beside ours which is currently being used as a &#8220;study&#8221; (a room filled with books, a desk, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=notafraidofneedles.wordpress.com&blog=3479691&post=26&subd=notafraidofneedles&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
