Crafting After Birth

Contrary to what some of my in-laws apparently thought - there can be crafting after giving birth.

Remember, you're having a baby, not a toddler. It would be much harder to give your full attention to a sock weight sweater when you have a three year-old on the loose.

Here at my house, I know exactly where my infant is at all times, and anywhere she attempts to get she'll be getting there at the speed of an inch worm.

A couple of nights ago I finished my first knit since giving birth. I started the project on April 11th and finished April 18th.



It's a cowl made with 4ply yarn and I used size (US) 3 needles.

So to any of you who let people convince you there's no crafting until long after birth, I'm here to tell you, that's just not true.

Happy crafting!
