Finally! I am human again.
You see, I didn't tell you the cliff hanger at the end of the last chapter. It was just too much...so shocking...sort of a bump in the road...it took my knitting mojo. But now that I have made it through the worst of it...we can read on to the next chapter.
I know I have said that "the kitchen is closed". I am done, done, done. Well...
I guess I was wrong. I didn't offically close the kitchen by removing the appliances.
It seems there is an italian bun in my oven.
Yup, that's right.
A BABY!
Hmmmm. 37 yrs old. The youngest is now 6...that's quite a spread. I really wasn't sure about this. It took three months and an ultrasound to make it real...there's no denying it!
I must say I am quite excited to knit for a "knitters baby". I can knit something out of a handwashable wool! There is an appreciation here. This baby will be decked out in handknits. I was only a beginner when the boys were born...oh think of the possiblities now!
Booties!
Cardigans!
Cute Motifs!
Oh my!
Look out...I'M BACK!
Holy moly a baby! YAY! Congratulations and Happy Knitting to you!
ReplyDeleteFormer lurker, coming out of the wordwork to say Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWooHoo! CONGRATULATIONS! And the best part (for us!) is that we'll all benefit from the upcoming baby knit eye candy!!!
ReplyDeletewow, that is news!! Congratulations! You already have a strong start on the baby knits. Can't wait to see more :-)
ReplyDeleteThe garter top-down cardi is exactly the baby knit I want to make. What is the pattern, pretty please?
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! What a exciting new chapter.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! How exciting to knit for the new baby. =)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Congratulations! I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of hand knitted baby cloths here!
ReplyDeleteAll the best
Ingrid
Congratulations!! Is it wrong that the first thing I thought was wow, think of the baby knitting you can do!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I was 37 with a 9 yr old when I had my surprise baby :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see all of the cute baby knits!
Congratulations and welcome back to knitting!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and best of luck. Hope it's a girl this time.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Love the booties.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful news, I wish you the very best your readers have missed your lovely knits. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteWow! I totally didn't see that one coming. :) CONGRATULATIONS!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Wonderful good news.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I'm 7 years older than my sister, and we've always gotten along marvelously.
Congratulations! That's great news :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Enjoy the baby-knit fest!
ReplyDeleteWell, well, well. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Carolyn! That is so exciting! I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteA baby, yay!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a 6 year-gap between second and third kids, and while it was challenging in some ways to go back to babyland, it was also really helpful to have the older one so much more independant.
!!! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your family! I have nearly 8 yrs between my two and it does help out as you can have more time with the baby whilst the others are at school. I cannot wait to see all the little knits you are going to create, how exciting!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's awesome! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHey I'm 44 that means 7 years between us little sister... quick and make that baby happen. Hope it's a girl, better knitting. I am glad you are back knitting I gave your website out to all my friends just before you lost your mojo.
ReplyDeleteYour big sister Catherine
I've enjoyed reading your blog for the last 18 months. You are a talented knitter and I can't wait to see the creativity over the next six months.Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Looking forward to the baby knits - have you seen the sweater - Lilliput - by Dances with Wool? Just in case you have a baby girl! The garter stitch - top down cardigan - which pattern is it?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Can't wait to see all the wonderful baby knits. How fun.
ReplyDeleteDe-lurking to say congratulations! I myself am 2 months pregnant with twins and have also majorly lost my knitting mojo. I am glad to see that it will return! One of the first things I thought of when I found out was that I have to start knitting RIGHT NOW! You make beautiful knits and I am glad you are back to share more of your creations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! how exciting!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It will be an exciting new chapter...and many new knits on the horizon!!! The good news is that baby knits go so quickly and are sooo rewarding:)
ReplyDeleteYipee!! I can't wait to see the parade of new knits. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I always wanted another one, but it never happened, and now at 47 with an 11 year old - it had better NOT happen!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the cute knits.
Congratulations!! I'm so very excited for you! Happy baby knitting :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I hadn't wanted a big spread between my kids, but my oldest and youngest ended up being 5 1/2 years apart. In some ways it is AWESOME to have older kids that can dress and potty themselves and get their own breakfast. But I also know how my little brother feels about being the 'caboose'.
ReplyDeleteMy number one suggestion for moms with a 'big' gap like that is Freecycle! And number two is babywearing! I don't know how old your oldest is, but he's probably old enough to wear a newborn too! Amy Butler fabrics make great slings!!
Congratulations :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Congratulations. That will be one lucky, fabulously dressed baby!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations! I had my last one when I was 38. The appliances were removed after that.
ReplyDeleteI´m so happy for you and your family. Congradulations
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Love the colors in the booties! Glad your mojo showed up for the party ;)
ReplyDeleteI had my 5th at 37. My family thought we were crazy. Now everyone wonders what we'd do without him! Life is a gift. Sometimes its a shocking one though!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Hows this for time between births. 1957-1961-1969-1976.I was 37 with the last and all was well. Love to read your blog. Ada
ReplyDeletecongratulations!!! I have two older brothers (9 and 10 years older), and one younger brother (two years younger). I never felt alone when I was little, and my parents always had a baby-sitter :P Of course, I don't know if older brothers really make the best babysitters, but I made it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That's exciting news! I can imagine the shock with it being something you weren't trying for.
