What is sort of amusing about this is that on Ravelry, there are a couple thousand of happy knitters who have tackled this project...most in just a couple of days. And here I am, a pretty advanced knitter most of the time, ripping and ripping. I think it is seriously baby brain and that this pattern wants you to keep track of stitches for each row. Counting and pregnancy? Hmmmmm.
I am enjoying the yarn. Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Sock Candy is very vibrant in their colorways. I think that it will wash up really nicely as well for a baby knit and be pretty durable.
To keep myself sane and feel as though I am making some progress on baby knits, I have cast on for Otto the Owl. I loooooove stuffed owls. Ravelry has a bunch of cute ones that people have finished, but if you are not up to speed on Ravelry, you can check out Flickr to see a few FOs. Elann.com has Pakucho Organic Cotton again and so my Otto is being worked on with that. Not so many interesting pics of that yet, but Otto will be appearing at a blog near you hopefully in the near future!

Um yeah. There is NO way I'd have been able to knit or keep track of ANYTHING while pregnant.. I'm surprised you made it that far!
I can't wait to see Otto! Have you seen some of the cute stuffed toys that Ysolda designed? Look up Elijah on Ravelry, he's super cute!
Baby-brain is DEFINITELY real! I had a few very embarrassing occasions, one was in the Dr's office and I could not, for the life of me, remember the name of my pharmacy. My pharmacy is in the grocery store that I WORKED AT all through high school and college and still I couldn't remember the name!!!!
Definitely the baby brain, not your knitting skills! Did I tell you about the time that my pregnant co-worker got in the car and wondered why it wasn't going anywhere? Well, she was not using her keys.
