Not Much of an Update.

While I was still pregnant, I started working on another Infinity Scarf for my friend Jan. At my baby shower, I showed the one I made for my mother-in-law to both Jan and Lacey, and they seemed to really like it. So my hope was to make them both one.

I started Jan's before I had my son. Since I've had my son, I think I've only done a few rows. Mind you, this scarf really is quick to work up. So it's not the scarf. It's just me. I've just been that tired and busy. Obviously, winter has come and gone, but maybe I'll get the scarves done to send them by Christmas! (Since my baby shower, we have all since become telecommuters, so we no longer see each other every day at the office. The only drawback to working from home. Boo.)

That being said, I really miss both crocheting and knitting. So I'm looking at projects that are simple and quick, ones that could possibly be done during the whopping 20 minute naps my baby likes to take.

What I'm thinking of so far:

• Arm/wrist warmers
• Mug/cup cozies
• Amigurumi
• Hats
• Dishcloths

I'm leaning towards mug cozies and dishcloths, as they're the smallest projects and would possibly be quick enough to work up during my son's (way too brief) naps.

Truthfully, I used to really hate cozies, but I recently realized the usefulness of them as ways to identify your drink--particularly, when you're at gatherings with a family as large as my husband's.

I still have some variegated yarn that I got for Christmas that I plan on using for such a project. Because of the coloring on this, I'm looking at some of the "plainer" patterns. Not exciting, but I just need to get my hands moving again. I already have a dishcloth pattern I really like. I'm thinking I'll stick with that.

First, though, I must finish this scarf...
