South Africa - November 2011

  • Pilanesberg landscape
    In November 2011 we traveled to South Africa and brought Charles's parents along for the ride. We spent a week in and around Cape Town, a few days near Hartbeespoort and the Cradle of Humankind, a couple days at Pilanesberg National Park, and two days with my friend Stephanie and her family in Pretoria. It was a FANTASTIC trip! There are (currently) 78 photos in this album and don't include some of the great places we visited or people we saw. I may add more as we finish weeding through the approximately FOUR THOUSAND photos we took. Seriously. It was a great trip.

Four months in the making (for the one nine months in the making)

I finished the blanket before the baby arrived!

For the curious knitters, the pattern is the Garter Stitch Blanket from Baby Knits for Beginners by Debbie Bliss. I used Rowan Handknit DK Cotton yarn in 203 (pink), 239 (blue), 253 (taupe), 301 (green) and 334 (purple). Some of those colors have been discontinued but may still be available on yarn store shelves or online. The 72 squares, all in garter stitch, knit up super fast on a pair of size 8 Addy Turbos, but the piecing together took a while.

I hope the baby takes to this better than Aldus took to the Big Bad Baby Blanket.
