Human Prozac
2009 Finishes: Knitting
I had a rough week. Nothing big, really, just a bunch of little things that added up to a lot of generalized stress and anxiety. But then I spent my Friday evening like this, and immediately felt a million times better:
I basically walked into my friends' apartment, said "Here's a baked ziti," and then made them let me hold the baby for four hours. (Not that they seemed to mind. I think they were ready for a break.) He's about six weeks old and all snuggly and warm and has that wonderful baby smell. Definitely the best way to end the week.
I also brought him this:
That's an awful, awful picture but I couldn't get it to come out any better. I promise it's cuter in person. It's Debbie Bliss's Ribbed Baby Jacket, and I think it's in one of her books but I got the pattern for free from a British magazine's Web site. Ravelry page here.

Yay babies! I'm glad you had such a nice Friday night. Also I love the ribbed baby jacket - I'm actually wearing the super-long (purchased) grown up version right now, and plan on living in it all winter, since it's basically like wearing a super warm soft blanket shawl with sleeves. Mmmmmmm....
Yeah, that looks like the best way to end a day. I love that sweet cuddly phase, where they smell all nice, and their breath tickles your neck.
