button help!

I’m at a loss. I just finished knitting and seaming and weaving on the BSJ#2 and am now thinking about buttons. It’s so colorful, so I can’t imagine the perfect buttons! I’m leaning toward something earthy, like maybe wood. I’m going to have to visit some craft stores this weekend to look for some.

multi-tasking

With an infant (7 weeks as of Tuesday morning, 6:39am) getting all my attention and a toddler doing crazy things to try and get my attention, I hardly have any time to sit and knit (or do other things..). I usually leave most of my own personal desires for the night time. Right now, the toddler is fast asleep and the baby just nursed himself into oblivion, so I have free hands!

One of the major perks of breastfeeding is the fact that I can knit while I do so! For the past week or so, I’ve been working on BSJ #2. At the rate Andy is growing, I’m highly doubtful he will fit into BSJ #1, so I started a new one. I wanted something a tad bit more colorful than the last one, so I chose to knit it in Noro Kureyon! I’m about 60-70% finished with it. I didn’t work on it at all on Tuesday, but I did get a chance to take a photo of it while baby slept.

spreading the Mei Tai love.

Today, the boys and I tagged along with Jason to Fry’s. I nursed Andrew before we left, so he was totally into his nap by the time we got there. I packed my mei tai carrier with me, so he slept the entire time we (Jason) was shopping.

At checkout, a woman came up and remarked about how cool the carrier was and asked about how much weight it can sustain. I explained that I still carry my toddler, Nathan, in it on my back and he’s 3 weighing 35 lbs. She said it was really cool and that she wanted one. Then she asked what it was called and where she could get one. I told her to search online for “mei-tai carrier” but I pronounced it “my-tie” because it was only a few weeks ago that I discovered it was pronounced “may-tie.” I really hope she googles it and finds one! I’m making this post with hopes that she finds it if she googles MY TIE CARRIER or MY-TYE etcetc.
