Otto Languishes

It all began yesterday when we decided that we should go down to see Miriam ASAP, while our building permit is still being held up by zoning issues.  As a result we are now flying to Knoxville on Friday June 16 for a long weekend, where, among other things we will look for fabric for crib bumpers and paint colors for the nursery, as well as untold other cleaning up and making-room tasks.

I instantly decided that I must have another baby sweater to present upon my arrival, and so Otto was cast aside, and Sweetie Pie begun.  The front is done:

I have been knitting with single-minded devotion.  In fact G had to roust me out of my knitting reverie to find some dinner this evening, and as soon as I could reasonably leave the table I was back in my chair needles in hand.  Not being a particularly fast knitter I felt that I must knit whenever possible.
