Surprise 1 : Sunray

2008-03-05T23:38:00.000-08:00

This beautiful yellow surprise jacket was done with mysterious yarn
that I got 3 years ago from Black Sheep Knittery's sale.
It is just perfect size & yarn
( it is cotton yellow yarn that is consist of springy center with 4~5 thinner yarn threads wrap around.)

My mom suggest leaving black yarn that we have used to mark increase & decrease section.
- and this just added perfect details for slightly boring one color surprise jacket.
Beanbean wears this everyday when he goes out to park.

4 surprises

2008-03-05T23:14:00.000-08:00

I have only previewed one surprise jacket from genius Zimmerman..
but My mom & I went little crazy and finished 5 surprise jackets.

We have been busy..

One was for my cousin Susan's baby Noah's..
But all others for All for Beanbean..

I have been lazy uploading pictures of wonderful jackets..
I will upload one by one slowly..

Please enjoy~~

Blue

2008-01-25T22:30:00.000-08:00

When you knit for baby -- Especially,, If she or he hasn't born yet..
First thing you should think of is
whether that gift size will be okay for the season & months of the baby.

When I knitted for my friends' baby,,
I never thought of the possibility --my gift will not be in season..

Here comes the story of BLUE!!

As soon I found out I am gonna have a baby boy,
This was my first knitting project.
Knitty's picture was so Adorable & I could not resist temptation.

I thought If I knit size for 9 months ( beanbean was born on March)
-- It will be in season for my boy to wear this wonderful creation..

Alah!
I didn't count the possibility that Beanbean will be 97 percentile!
Longer & bigger than most of the babies!

After 2 weeks of wearing this pants,,
He has grown out of it..and pants started to be more like paddle pusher

Bah~~~

But Pants is Adorable & was Fun Fun project to Knit!!

Enjoy Beanbean in Blue & short scarf!!

Depressed

2008-01-18T08:35:00.001-08:00

When people describe soft - soft and delicate as baby's skin. Beanbean
never had a day without red patch around cheeks.
Whenever he has a flare up, scratches and lose sleep, I lose appetite.
Is there something I can do to help him? More than every things I
tried already? Does flax oil really works?

Drumroll please

Chickadee cardigan

2008-01-03T12:16:00.000-08:00

Rowan Classic Baby ' Chick'
With RYC Cashsoft Baby
Size - for 6th month

I loved this cardi!!

Raglan shoulder makes baby more comfortable
-- lesser seam is better!
Yarn wasn't scratchy or itchy
-- which makes plus for baby with skin problem like beanbean.
Cardigan front makes sweater more versatile.
-- Sweater, Cardigan, blanket, changing pad you name it.
Front opening makes it can be worn longer
-- give little more give in size wise & season wise.
also great for squirming little baby when you try to run out fast.

It was great pattern & I highly recommend it.
Beanbean is around a year old size-- but he can still fit in to
6 months size which makes all knitting effort worthwhile.

We love it so much.. My mom just bought yarns for another
RYC baby pattern!

10 months - 44 weeks

2008-01-03T11:48:00.000-08:00

Wow!!
Already?

10 months, 44 weeks, 2 naps, 3 bottles, 4 teeth.

Priceless.

Un-knitting

2008-01-02T23:15:00.001-08:00

Now I have another person who loves my mistake as much as Ddong2 does!
Beanbean helped me restarting Surprise jacket today.

Have you noticed my recent post is very simple & short?
Because I have been blogging from My phone ( how convenient is that! Ha! ).

Thanks to Ddong2's Christmas gift..
I love my Iphone!!

Start of the new surprise

2008-01-01T11:44:00.001-08:00

Finally I am quite ready to start new knitting - before winter ends.

What am I knitting??

It is a surprise.
(wink wink - did you get it??)

Comparison What A Change!

2007-12-21T10:56:00.000-08:00

I am thinking of adding comparison Photos of All baby Knitting I did for Beanbean.
and What I think of the patterns.

First..
baby Kimono.

It was my first baby knit & very special.
I have specifically chosen this pattern after I made one for my friend
- and she told me the cardigan last long time..
Because it can be worn Long sleeves & 3/4 lengths.

And..

She was quite correct.

Beanbean was quite comfortable with size first months ( Of course.. you have to consider He was and is a big baby)..
and I was worried that It will only last a week..
But surprisingly, Cardigan lasted till now..

If I Knit it again.. or Have to modify the pattern, I will make closure to be buttons instead Ribbons.
Which can be chocking hazard,, and Baby is busy picks and chews on it..
Cotton Yarn is good choice for pattern.. Especially for sensitive baby skin and easy cleaning. ( which I did not consider before,, But very very essential!!!!)

Winter Bonnet

2007-12-21T01:21:00.000-08:00

I haven't knitted much lately..
& it's been such a long time that I did any knitting post.
Here it is..
Very small small knitting post.

Bonnet from Last Minute gift.
Beanbean was too hot to model the hat for me..
But he was willing after he wears only short sleeves onesie.

Yarn : left over from RYC Cashsoft Baby Cardigan
Pattern : Bonnet from Last Minute Gift

Book says 4 hours.. But it took quite longer than it says..
May be we were distracted quite often -
It was joint effort with my mom & me
while Baby tugging our pants legs.

Yeah.. I have to get back to knitting..
Really Really miss it..

May be I should start again with small projects that I can finish fast..
Any suggestion??

9months check up

2007-12-19T14:26:00.001-08:00

Today was beanbean's 9 months check up. He is 30.75inches 23.8lb.
He got second flu shot and very traumatic blood draw - which they did
from his arm (see pic above) total of 6 medium size container.

He cried & grandma also cried watching him.

아가가 벌써 9개월이에요~~
병원에 갔었는데.. 쪼끄만 아가팔에서 커다란 실린더로 피를 6개나 왕 빼네니 아가 죽는다구 울었네요..
불쌍했는데.. 언제 그랬냐는듯이 집에오자마자 이쁜짖하구 웃구 장난감가지구 노느라 정신이 없어요..

순둥이!!!

8 months soon

2007-10-26T20:12:00.000-07:00

Beanbean is eight months next week.
we visited pumpkin patch & selected some for him..
He loved sitting & touching hay -- and wanted to taste some

빈이가 벌써 1주일만 있으면 8개월이 되어요..

몇일전에 아가를 가져서 감사하고 행복했었던거 같고,
밤에 몇번 일어났는지 엄마랑 매일매일 전화로 이야기하고,
하루하루 왜 뒤집지 않는지 걱정했던거가 어제같은데..
벌써 8개월이 되었어요..

몇일전에 pumpkin patch에 갔어요...
빈이 처음보는 호박에 완전히 꽃혀
좋아하는 사진기두 쳐다보지 않았어요..

한달 반동안 매일매일 일하다가 처음으로 쉬는시간에
갔다가왔는데.. 너무 미안하구.. 감사하구..

내년에는 호박사이를 걸어다니며 마음에 드는 호박을
빈에가 직접 고르겠죠??

Away from Home

2007-09-27T20:29:00.000-07:00

빈이가 태어난후 일들이 다 멀리 출장을 가야만해서 힘들어요..
처음이 제일 힘들줄 알았는데.. 어찌 이번출장이 더 힘든네요..
아마두 가장 오랫동안 떨어져 있어야해서
그리구 6개월이 되어 나날이 바뀌어가는 빈이를 거의 2주동안이나
보지못한다니까 더 힘든거 같아요..

이제 겨우 3일 지났는데
집에있는 두남자 넘 보구싶어요..

나
너
보구싶다..

너두??
증말증말???

무서운거 아니에요.. 목말 내리는거에요..

Alone in Hotel room somewhere far from Home is Hard enough,,,
Especially when your miss all the fun with boys.

nightmare back

2007-08-14T13:29:00.000-07:00

Is it only me??
Sometimes I still dream that I am wearing retainer.
Wakes up after I dream losing retainer that is wrap with paper towel left on table somewhere.

When I saw this..

it brought back all memory.. and i laughed bitterly

I wanted this..rjaouh
Probably I needed some closure.

counting counting

2007-08-14T13:18:00.000-07:00

My life has been fill with counting after beanbean arrived..
How many times baby eat, sleep, poop, cry, changed, spit, laugh, smiled, jump, roll, bang, scratch, suck, creamed, brushed, massaged, pee, wiped, poke, cleaned..

I am getting hang of it now..
life with baby is getting little more predictable..

really
seriously
; )

4 months going 5

2007-07-21T21:57:00.000-07:00

Beanbean is now 4 months almost going 5.
Here is how he's celebrating!!

100th days

2007-07-18T20:54:00.000-07:00

All cultures have unique day they celebrate & enjoy..
One of Korean's big day for a baby is
celebrating 100th day for baby..

it is a day to show up how well your baby is growing
and thanking everyone for their support and help.

Beanbean's 100th day was on June 10th.
Close family & friends had big chinese dinner.

Pictures were very disappointing but when you are busy
with a baby & all the other are also busy with their kids who blame bad pictures!!

Back & Alive

2007-07-18T20:42:00.000-07:00

After move to other site..
and tries to desperately work new things out..
I finally figure that I could not abandon old good blogger site.

Other site was all good with new ideas..

Enough storages for photos & videos, flash and photo modifications,
great design skins & background musics and so on

I was happy with multiple new choices & eager to try new site with baby in mind..
But I was heartbroken with trial and errors.

Anyway..

I am back..

I have to confess that I haven't been Knitting..
and very proud of it.

Sheer survival in sleep deprivation is my mode last 4 months
and happy that I am excited about different stool colors baby poop.

I probably can not write much about knitting now..
but plenty to offer on baby stuff.. !!!!
