    oh my gosh, that blanket looks so amazingly soft and cozy, and i adore the photo with the tiny baby feet poking out! My bread and butter knitting is stockinette, or any type of cowl.

    A roll-brim hat, plain or with colorwork, for a baby or a child is my go-to knitting when I need to feel creative and see quick progress. I really like Bonfire, the magic mint color is dreamy, and the baby — capital A for Adorable!

    I like to use up yarn odds and ends in simple striped hats, which I then give to kids or donate (I teach middle school). The hat patterns I use are simple, the knitting is quick, and deciding how to combine the yarns is enough creativity to keep it interesting.

    I’ve started knitting plain vanilla socks as a relief from complex knitting and an easy portable project during stressful moments. We are moving back from Canada to France after more than a decade, a stressful moment if there is one. While the movers were packing all our belongings yesterday, I reached out for my sock and knit a few rows to unwind.

    When I was pregnant I couldn’t bring myself to knit at all until almost the end of the second trimester. The first pregnancy I was trying to knit a fingering weight wedding parasol and an heirloom baby blanket, both of which were definitely NOT my bread and butter at the time. But once I hit the third trimester I was knitting like a fiend, and continued while my babies napped on my chest after they each arrived. It was mostly baby sweaters in the round in stockinette. A very tight gauge to keep them both warm, since they were born in the in-between seasons. So much time where you can’t do much else after they arrive!

    I always come back to socks and always have at least one pair on the needles

    The tiny new baby is adorable. I’m still smiling since looking at the picture. So sweet.

    My ‘bread & butter’ knitting is scarves, which I then donate to a local homeless shelter in the fall, because it’s cold up here in Northern Ontario!
