A Noah interruption

A text from a daughter informs me of the birth of a new baby within her circle of friends. A great excuse to start baby knitting again - perhaps from the new cotton in the stash! I had forgotten how small baby items are; how fiddly to make up; the fact that they need buttons! I steered clear of my usual default baby jacket and found a pattern in the new book bought along with the new stash - suspiciously similar to the default jacket but no raglan sleeves and a bit of a pattern on the yoke. The denim blue cotton from the stash would work well and so the first Noah cardigan was born. Little mittens in the same yarn added to the gift but, on a roll with baby knitting, I then made the default jacket with some lovely cottonsoft yarn from the new stash - more flannelette sheet than Egyptian cotton.
2 jacket and 2 mittens down and I was feeling withdrawal symptons from log cabin knitting. The Cowichan was finished, a baby blanket on the needles was unbearably boring and not going anywhere so I made the inevitable decision to cast on another log cabin. This is going to be Flaming June mark 2. The yarn is cotton from the new stash and the colours orange, red and cream. It feels like coming home to be knitting squares again and not just squares but log cabin squares. There is another project on needles - a blanket of squares but not log cabin - it is just not the same and I cannot quite get into finishing it although the yarn - bamboo cotton and colours - greens and blues and purples - are both wonderful. Perhaps another frogging option or one of those things that, once started, should be finished - after the log cabin.
