Random Cuteness

Asalam Alaikum,

As the knitting has no real visible progress here are some pictures of the cutest baby ever-

A little bit of stockinette any one?

Asalam Alaikum,
Here is an update pic of the FIL's vest-

I am trying not to take too many pics. Because of the plain stockinette it doesn't seem to be moving very quickly, and i don't want to bore anybody.

This is what is distracting me-


It is Fetching, I got a little bit of pattern envy when Lindsaywas working on this one. The first one worked up in a couple of hours, but I am trying to get the never-ending vest done, so the second is going a bit slowly.

This is just for cuteness-

Easily Amused, And We ARE the KING!

Asalam Alaikum,

I am rather easily amused, as evidenced by the following---
This is a sand storm, it was like when your little and the second you see one flake of snow and then everybody runs to the window to see. Our whole family ran outside to see the sand storm, I don't recommend that you follow our example, as the sand will get in your eyes.

This is the DS with his new favorite toy---Leaves. Thats right people what they say is true; your kids don't like the really expensive toy you just bought, they are more excited by the box...or the leaves on the ground, or an empty water bottle.

And finally-



They were so excited to go to BK but pics for the blog?...not so much. I have not had a real burger in a restaurant for a long time, in the US we couldn't cause the meat is not Halal and we always had to get the fish. It was so tasty, and I could just feel myself gaining a pound or two!

Uh huh, Sheep that glow in the Dark!

Asalam Alaikum,

I am the biggest dork I know! Glow in the dark sheep! I know you are all sooooo thrilled by this.

So on to real life---

Some progress has been made on the KAL...I took it to the park with me when we went yesterday. We went to the Baniyas Public gardens...it was pretty nice, very clean and well maintained. Entrance fees were dhs 1 each(adults, they didn't count the munchkin brigade), and the carnival rides dhs 3 each. I sat on the swing and knitted on week 6 of the KAL, as it is now possible(read-not over 100 degrees f) to knit outside!(but only at night)

We shall end todays post with the cutest baby ever, helping mommy in the kitchen today!

The Difference a Year makes...

Asalam Alaikum,
Have you ever wondered the difference a year makes?...if you've got a little one it can hit you hard.





And this is the Difference a Year makes--





This has been the most crazy/wonderful/awesome year of my life, Happy Birthday Little Man!!!!

RAVELRY!!!!!!!!!!

Asalam Alaikum,
I have not posted in a while because I have been slightly obsessed with Ravelry, having just got my invite! It is so more awesome than I could have imagined, everything is just so cool. It did not take as long to get in as I had thought it would, and is absolutly worth the wait!

And now for something completly Knit-ffrent

A hat for my mom --



A hat for my DH--


A teeny tiny sweater--

And now a completely gratuitous picture of my own personal yarn holder!--

Finally at least a little bit of knitting

So here is a picture of my son that we took the day we left the hospital. He is wearing the very first things that I ever knit and boy does he look small.

This is the pinwheel baby blanket, which was completed about two days before he was born.

It is really more of a lap blanket now, but that is what you get when, as an ambitious new knitter you choose to use size 4 needles. I really don't have a great deal of patience, and so it is only about 36" in diameter, I just stopped when I ran out of yarn. The border is crochet. I like the way it turned out, but if I ever make another, I will definitly use larger needles.

And now for some random pics of my little love and his daddy.

Wow, look at the love!
Mmmmmmm! Tasty, fingers!

In which i boast of my infants' many talents

Asalam Alaikum,
been a while eh?
i have been soooooo busy with the little man that i have not posted in a long while(and am currently typing one handed-hence the lack of cap, punc, etc.)
he is not so little, just turned 7 weeks on monday! and hes growing so fast,
here is a list of stuff he can do-
coo
say aaggoo
put his hand in mouth
smile (socially...it is not gas people, he smiles when you smile)

and today for the very first time he rolled over, he did it when i turned around for one second, i think it was totally accidental but whatever!

well he is getting hungry so i gotta go, hopefully i can get a knitting progress update up tomorrow!

My Son is here!!!!!

Asalam Alaikum,

So I have not posted in a while because we had our baby, he is the most adorable child ever, and i know all mothers say that but oh well, he is very cute...

I also have almost finished the pinwheel baby blanket, all that is left is to weave in the ends and block it a little(the edges curl a little). pics of that to come soon.
