But then, I was one of those early nay-sayers about Knit Picks' decision to undervalue the pattern-writing of designers. Good for you!<br /><br />And that baby bump looks great on you, Rocky Road notwithstanding.

Your cousin's kids were all early, too, so yeah, get crackalackin on that nursery ;) Really though, baby doesn't need anything but some milk and diapers and some arms to sleep in for the first few weeks so don't stress yourself out. <br /><br />PS. I'm in the process of making a yarn ball solar system for the playroom for the summer decor.

I feel the same way about food. :)<br /><br />Don't worry about the nursery, I was in a rush to get it done and Abby has stayed in with us the whole time. She moved from a bassinet to our bed. Co-sleeping has been one of the most amazing parts of having a baby and she is so snuggly. Especially in the winter it keeps her warm and cozy and I'm not up all night worrying about her if I can't see her. :)kerihttp://knittygrittythoughts.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333545075902457976.post-45305930430495451062011-02-19T11:09:35.422-08:002011-02-19T11:09:35.422-08:00You look great!

Enjoy these last few weeks (or less - I was almost a month early and am the first of three; Isobel was a few days early, and Penelope was induced on her due date after my OB said I was going to go "any time" at my 8-month check-up). Babies come when they are ready, not when we are :)<br />Completely understand your price increase (and appreciate your not undercutting those of us attempting to do this for a living).

Wish I had thought of that...<br />And, as a shop owner, I totally agree with your opinion on pattern pricing. I have to constantly explain to customers that I am not trying to get rich by the prices of the books and leaflets but designers deserve every cent of it. And, I give an ear full if asked to photocopy/steal.<br />Best of luck with the delivery if it happens sooner!

The last thing we want is designers not being able to afford to continue designing.<br /><br />I'm something like 5 weeks from my due date at the moment, and have solved the nursery dilemma by deciding it won't have one - number one child was in with us for so long that we had plenty of time to play around with nursery ideas before he got his own room!Jo @ a life in listshttp://lifeinlists.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333545075902457976.post-54460238033062593652011-02-19T02:25:55.338-08:002011-02-19T02:25:55.338-08:00personally I think a knit solar system sounds awes...personally I think a knit solar system sounds awesome. your baby is so lucky! and don't worry, I'm sure you'll get the nursery done. :)Kimhttp://www.kimrayphoto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333545075902457976.post-23363604696975884352011-02-18T21:42:28.149-08:002011-02-18T21:42:28.149-08:00You look wonderful.

Personally, I look at a pattern price as an indicator of how interesting a design will be to knit and how detailed or informative the pattern directions will be. And I have to confess that $1.99 is a price point that makes me want to skip the purchase and just crunch the numbers myself. $5 and up, on the other hand, makes me think that the product is worth my money. Just my two cents.<br /><br />Enjoy your last few weeks pre-baby. They really fly by!Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903006455082291384noreply@blogger.com
