And YES, I did knit the cardigan and it is Noro yarn--a silk/wool self-striping blend in bulky (apparently they've now discontinued the line). It was *expensive* yarn and I tried to stretch it out by adding some Lamb's Pride bulky in with the stripes. I think it looks really good but in retrospect, I should have just purchased another skein of the Noro, it would have been less hassle what with weaving all those ends in! Pattern is "Ragman" on Ravelry. xo Gretchen cloves cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599776877128438403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238584416215689469.post-88585904568684916752013-03-06T02:29:49.062-07:002013-03-06T02:29:49.062-07:00We just had a lovely holiday in Japan - the beddin...We just had a lovely holiday in Japan - the bedding - all in a row on Futons was fantastic - lots of space to spread out but all together , my daughter loved it too. Our bed at home is too small for 3, but I felt so guilty turning down her the first night home when she asked to sleep in our bed, still at 3 am when she got in bedside me I squeezed over and let her sleep with us for the rest of the night. Watching my friend on holiday with us play with my girl brought on the guilty feeling - I need to do that more with her myself. The mother guilt is always there.<br /><br />Love your photos in this post and did you knit Junipers cardigan in the carousel photo - it is beautiful -looks like Noro yarn?Craftysquirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704072979848811971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238584416215689469.post-84877765586168788252013-03-04T09:15:28.668-07:002013-03-04T09:15:28.668-07:00Mama guilt weighed heavily on my mind this weekend...Mama guilt weighed heavily on my mind this weekend, too. It is hard to juggle the needs of two totally different stages. I think just saying that and allowing it to 'be' is how it will melt away. Of course time helps. :) Love all the winter activities going on - this post felt so wild West! Hang in there, Mama. I know you're doing a beautiful job, even if it doesn't always feel like it. x, KatieKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621572321859816634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238584416215689469.post-50419943030396997602013-03-04T06:18:22.314-07:002013-03-04T06:18:22.314-07:00Ahhh- the mama guilt- it is all consuming.

I have only had 6 weeks of sharing myself but feel heavy in my heart when I can't put my tiny baby down to free my hands to meet my first baby's needs. She needs me to make mud pies and tie the back of the fairy costume. Not fair! <br />Getting out is the answer to everything here too!
