Here is a summary (the other balls of the same type aren't in the picture - but you get the idea) of my haul:
Now, I haven't wanted to talk about this on the blog, because it's a little hard for me to talk about - but Aaron and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 15 months. No luck yet, and we've started getting some medical 'help'. In all this time, I've desperately wanted to start making baby stuff, you know, to get ahead... but thought that I would be 'jinxing' myself. After my last trip to the doctor - I realized that knitting baby stuff would maybe help me calm down, and focus on good baby thoughts, instead of always wondering if this was FINALLY the month we got pregnant. So - I decided to dedicate this Webs trip to stocking up on machine washable, unisex baby yarn.
All of this yarn already has a purpose - ready for the list?
Zarina (light blue top left): Feather and Fan cardigan from Patons Baby 500978 (I love this pattern so much - I actually brought it for my baby before we had even gotten married). I've already started this!
Debbie Bliss: Miss Dashwood from Knitty (Ok, ok, not all gender neutral - but a girl can hope, right)
Primo (purple top right): Trellis also Knitty
Red Encore: The roll neck sweater
Colorado Yarns: Chaos
Regia: Devan (which I've made before)
Angora: Super cute baby booties from Last Minute Knitted gifts
And, in my stash, I already have the supplies for a blue version of the baby sweater I made my work friend, and the somewhat blog famous Ladybug sweater.
If you'll notice, this is all either stuff that I have made before or have been watching others make around blogland. So, be expecting a bunch of baby stuff showing up on the blog - and please don't ask if it's because I'm pregnant. I know it'll happen someday, but for now, I will comfort myself with knitting for my future baby. And I promise to tell you all when I do finally get pregnant!

It will happen, sometimes just not in our time frame. BEst wishes and good thoughts coming your way.
good plan about the knitting for baby to be! Fingers crossed that it happens sooner than later - it sucks for it to take more than oh say one cycle even. Clearly, it sucks more to have to work hard to get there...
It'll be one dapper baby though, that's for sure! - Sara www.saraskates.typepad.com
Yoga,Banjo and those quiet dogs you have should help you relax. Perhaps if you had a wheel....
Why DO you keep yarn in your freezer?
Well, truth be told, Aaron isn't really complaining about the 'work'.
Ha.
I know that must have been hard to write about, I'll send good baby thoughts your way. I had a freak out dream the other night about my friends who are due any day now, I woke up swearing I'd never knit baby garments again, but since then I've calmed down and realized it was only a dream. Baby items are wonderful small projects and will bring you much joy.
Sounds like a good plan to me ... I hate it when things I want sooooooo badly refuse to happen on my timetable. You'll be a mama, though ... and you will have one very lucky (and exceptionally well-dressed) baby.
You will have one well knitted for baby. Maybe you have to be like the Harlot. Babies only show up when the knitting is done.
You will have one of the best knitted for baby's going. Good luck with it all and hope it happens soon for you both.
gahhhh - sending "getting it on" thoughts from across the pond - but boy howdy that bub will be so well catered for in the knitted stuff deparment.
I hope your baby wish comes true very soon.
I'm sending you good vibes and hopes that you'll be a hot motorcycle mama soon. Wait, you already are!!!
