My knitting time is basically nonexistent now that I’m nursing Jellybean. But I manage a few rows here and there when he is napping or chilling in someone else’s arms.
Since my last post on this sweater I had completed the sleeve and now I’ve finished the first front/side panel (depending on how you look at it). I’m now working the back portion of the sweater!
(The true color is closer to the first photo)
These few stitches here and there really help me find my center in the midst of baby poop, crying, laughing, and nursing. This motherhood stuff is no joke and I’ve never been so tired in my entire life. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
Pardon me while I go take a short nap whilst Jellybean is down for the count as well!
Happy Knitting!

Love the sweater!!!!
I like your sweater )
Thanks!
Looking great! The lack of time to oneself is the thing that scares me most about motherhood, I think…
Looking good, especially considering how busy/tired you are!
The construction on this is super strange and cool! I’m glad you’re still managing to squeeze in a little knitting somehow 🙂
Lovely sweater. Yes, do take naps when he is napping, I did that as well. It works great. Although you knit a bit less, it is so very worth it. Happy motherhood, you are so cool at it. 🙂
I have never seen a jumper made like this, intriguing! It looks amazing, I love the colour and texture
Look great. I used to knit while my kids nursed. It was the only way I got anything done lol.
Interesting construction! It took me awhile to figure it out.
I put my needles down after high school and didn’t pick them back up for ten years. I did more sewing than knitting during that time off but picked up the needles again when I became a SAHM. You will find the right balance with knitting and motherhood.
Beautiful colour! I’ve always wanted to try knitting cuff to cuff sweater ever since I saw Kaffe Fasset do it. Do you happen to have a pattern link you are following?
Sure, its a free pattern from Red Heart! http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cuff-to-cuff-sweater-2, thatcis the ravelry link
cool, thank you! I will add it to my queue 🙂
Everything is build a stitch at a time. Your ratio may be down right now but you are working towards a really nice sweater. And I am sure your Jellybean is worth every second of sleep you don’t get 🙂
Greetings from Germany!
Thank you!
