Peas in A Pod
I've often joked with #2 that his (my) last name translates from Italian to English as 'procrastinator' or 'one who is never on time' but after 20+ years of marriage, I think I've acquired some of those bad characteristics.
What do you do when two co-workers are expecting and you've decided to make each a baby sweater? Do you start early and get them finished with time to spare? Do you pace yourself and finish them a week or so before the baby shower? Do you finish the first one a week before and then knit like a demon until 2 am the night before the shower in order to complete the second one?
Three guesses which route I took.
Here they are - two purple Peas in a Pod from the summer online Interweave in Debbie Bliss cotton cashmere. Loved working with that yarn!
And here are the Moms-to-be -- the other two peas in a pod.

Relaxing on the Deck
The camera and computer gods have been conspiring against me lately. I finished the tote bag a few weeks ago and am finally able to post the pics. Here for your viewing pleasure....
The winning combo - black floral with olive solid.
Lined inside with hand dyed indigo cotton.
But because I liked the blue combo too, I've started a second bag. It's on a temporary hold though because I've got two pea pod sweaters to make before a baby shower for two co-workers. The pressure's on.
