Still, not sleeping gives me a chance to catch up on some of those yarn eating projects that I’d otherwise miss out on doing.

Like making a pair of undies for Lexi’s baby in a gender neutral acrylic yarn. No embiggening needed for this picture, I think this is about all the hideousness of acrylic, crochet and mustard yellow that one can take (even from a distance) without having some kind of allergic reaction.

There are plans in the works to make baby a durable and moderately less horrible wardrobe of booties, shirts, gowns, and hats. Is there a particular reason that doll clothes never seem to stay with a doll once it is in a little girls possession?

Please note, I would never do this to a real human child. This is plastic child, so plastic yarn is perfectly appropriate.

Which means I can show you this little bag that I was rambling on about last night.

I added the crochet top and yarn handles this morning (the fabric inside had to be stuffed in there otherwise it would have looked like yarn and a weird reflection in the pic.)

Lexi immediately said “Oh my new bag.” and made off with it. (She does this quite a bit with things that I make, that means she approves of the item and I have no hope of ever having it returned to me. Fortunately, Josey brought it back just long enough for me to take a photo.)
