I’m baaack! Seriously jet-lagged, but back. According to my body, it’s now 1:00 in the morning and I should be sleeping, but I’m trying to hold out for at least another three hours. Tomorrow it’s back to work.
We had a wonderful visit with our son and daughter-in-law in England and what can I say about Isobel? She is perfect!!! The only thing that could compare with holding my granddaughter for the first time was when I held her father for the first time. So without further ado – here are pictures!
In the first picture she’s lying on the quilt that I made for her and wearing a little sweater set that I made for her father thirty years ago! In the second she’s reclining on her heart afghan and wearing the set I made especially for her. Is she not the most beautiful baby ever? For those who just cannot get enough, I’m going to try and post a photo album in the sidebar. That is if my foggy brain can wrap around the task. And, just to prove that I did indeed get in a little knitting, here’s a picture of me working on my lace shawl on the train.
That sparkly expression of interest is a ruse. This is really proving to be a pretty boring pattern although I think it will be quite lovely. But it’s not the most interesting knit in the world.
Now I suppose I have to start addressing all those tasks that I kept saying I would do “after I get back from England.” I’m really itching to start a new project, but I know if I do some of the things I’ve been putting off (like starting the sleeves on Kongsberg) just won’t get done. But, as Scarlett says – “Tomorrow Is another day.” But for now think I’ll take a little nap (just a wee one you understand).
I’ve been thinking of you Dorothy, missed your blog entries. Your new grandbaby is beautiful,glad you had a nice visit.
Those photos are precious!
What a beautiful reason for a trip and knitting projects to come!
Welcome home,
Li
Isobel is beautiful! Isn’t if fun to give the kids their old baby things? Especially if they can appreciate them. You are a talented lady; that quilt looks like springtime!
Welcome back! She is indeed a beautiful baby; she already looks different than the first picture you posted.
At least you got to knit the boring pattern on a train, that helps some, right?
Welcome home! The pictures are wonderful. I checked out the entire album, smiling at all the happiness showing in those priceless pictures.
What a beautiful, perfect little granddaughter you have. Everyone looks so in love with her. What a lucky little girl to have so many people care about her.
When do you get to see her again?
