......my new soaking tub! Remember I mentioned these a few weeks ago and that I thought it might be the solution to my blocking needs? Well, I happened to be on the Land of Nod website the other day looking for a basket to put next to my couch to contain knitting and found these:

Since the little one was only $10.95, I thought I would give it a try. It is awesome! I have yet to soak my Summer Flies shawl in it, but it is exactly what I was looking for. And the best part? The sticker on the inside:
Look, you can store babies in it!
Sorry for the absence here the last few days. The Kid has been Mr Cranky-pants since Sunday and every second I am not swinging and shushing a swaddled, suckling, side-lying baby (have you heard of the the 5 S's? They really do seem to work.) I have been trying to get in as much knitting and pattern writing as possible. I don't seem to be making it up here to my office until 5pm at the earliest, hence not a lot of blogging....













You need to not apologize. You are a mother of a baby. Babies need their moms. A lot of the time. And then some more. No one in the world can do what you can do for that little fellow. Be a mama. No guilt.

Hey rebecca I ment to mention they have these at the co-op in bham (not the downtown one the other one) as well. They sell out fast but they seem to stock them regularly. We use them for toy storage, and now possibly yarn:)

Thanks! I actually giggled out loud when I got to the line "Look, you can store babies in it!" Giggling is fun... I must visit your blog more often...

late comment - but worth saying those trugs make great baby baths. In fact our oldest is nearly 3 and he still uses one. :)
