Amazing Progress on Lace Shawl
Guess what? Heidi from Step into my Thimble has put together a page listing children’s books with fiber, sheep, or knitting in them. Heidi is the clear winner of the Librarian of the Day award. As another prop to Heidi, you should check out her Etsy shop. Cute stuff - too cute to resist (TCTR).
Ha! Remember when you used to write that stuff in yearbooks? BFF, TLA?! I was out with my Beantown girls a few weeks ago and we had ourselves rolling in laughter with our book signing suggestions for Debbie. “Have a great summer!” “Love ya!” “Thanks for a great year.” And my perenial favorite: writing “I signed your crack” on the crack of the page.
Claudia was curious about the “Baby Mix Me a Drink” book. Leave it to the Grey Goose drinker to seek out the good title. Here’s one of the pages…
(appropriately blurry, considering the content. it doesn’t list a cosmo!)
Enough about that….have I told you that I’m knitting lace? Check out this (lack of) progress. I have knit zero stitches on this since I last posted it:
Ohhh, ahh….thank goodness the Bookish Girl is back to posting she is so full of surprises….

I bought that Baby Drink book for a friend a a couple of years ago. Wish that book had been in print when Hannah was a baby!

I love, love, love the fact that the Baby Drink book has immediately recognizable, unmistakable drawings of the Bombay Sapphire and Martini & Rossi vermouth bottles. Looks like an excellent bartending guide to me! Except it doesn’t tell Baby to pour (at most!) a half-capful of vermouth. I guess that’s why you teach your baby sign language.

That is hysterical. I’m surprised the baby-police haven’t banned that one.

Why oh why didn’t I have these books when my kids were younger. Now, they’re old enough to repeat books to their friends and teachers, and, I might get in trouble. But, it might be worth it!

OK. Got the new website marked in the favorites. And the cool stuff I come here to see is also here ~ knitting & books & books & knitting & now Baby makes 3. Yippee!!
Love the “baby be of use” books. Have to keep those in mind for any buds that may be expecting in the future!

Love the book list! It has several of my favorites! Russell the sheep is wonderful. Farmer Brown shears his sheep is fun too.
I’d also suggest..
One little lamb by Eloise Greenstein
Symphony for the Sheep by CM Millen ( illus. by Mary Azarian)
Blackberry Booties by Tricia Gardella
Mommies say shhhh! by Patricia Polacco ( has great illustrations of everyone knitting in it)
Looks like you’re off to a great start on the bookish baby library!

“Mama wants a martini”? That is just the funniest damn thing I’ve ever seen.

Your lace is beautiful. I would say make more progress on it, but then you’re pregnant, so I suppose I will leave you alone!
