the VIB project

I have received word this week of the impending arrival of a VIB - Very Important Baby.  (Not mine - don't get any ideas!)  Anyhow, I figure the only way to react to this insanely good news is with an insanely ambitious knitting project.  So, I am proud to announce

the VIB project

  1. I will make one knitted gift for the VIB per week until the VIB arrives.
  2. As this involves an insane amount of knitting, I do not plan on actually *finishing* one gift per week.  One gift per week is the average knitting output I hope to achieve.
  3. Accordingly, many of these gifts will likely be very quick and easy, while a few should be breathtakingly complicated and stunningly beautiful.
  4. Should I fall off the wagon and fail to achieve my goal, I will pay my penance by knitting extra gifts for the VIB after the VIB arrives.


So, those are the rules.  If you have any suggestions of what I should be knitting (esp. of the quick projects), I would really appreciate it.  I need to get on the ball and start ordering yarn!


Needless to say, the arrival of the kitties in Colorado has taken a backseat to this news.  I will update you about their interminable cuteness very soon.


VIB Project Update, 1:12pm:  I have now ordered an obscene number of books with baby knitting patterns in them.  I do have some baby knitting books at home, but why not take advantage of an opportunity to expand my collection?  After all, these are just books - not yarn!

I am also quite taken with the penguin.
