Let’s do a WIP roundup with links if possible.

Starting off with the Dino sweaters (Ravelry link). I have the baby’s stitching all done and about 2/3 done toddler’s. The spikes are knit and ready to be sewn on, and then the side seams. Hoping to have these done, washed, and blocked as best you can with acrylic by the end of the weekend.

They may appear to be the same size but I promise the blue dragon is smaller. Though we just did our latest well baby check and he’s apparently off the charts for his height so he may be in the same size as his sister before long.

The next thing on my hook is a Grace Blanket for a special little girl due in April. I’ve finished one repeat of the pattern. I have a massive ball of gradient yarn that I’m just going to use till done. So far I’m enjoying this one, even the popcorn stitches, which is funny because I normally hate bobbles and nupps in knitting.

This grey will blend to blue and then to white which I think will be lovely.

I don’t have pictures of my sewing stuff yet, but I’ve chosen patterns and fabric. I’ll see about doing another post once I get the chance to pull them out and iron them.

I’ve also got an order in for a couple things I need to complete these, mainly lining material, and material to make a baby wrap since little man is 23 lbs but loves to be carried and cuddled. So hopefully that will help save my back and shoulders.

I’m still resisting the @lacerotalong at least till I get these dinosaur sweaters done, but boy is the siren song singing loudly in my ear.
