apparently the answer is 3 times...
i have knit this one bootie twice so far... third time is a charm right? the worst part about it is that while knitting i get so itchy and annoyed at these little things that i can't WAIT to be done with this gift. the shower is the 26th (i think i miss-spoke at the knitting get together and said it was THIS weekend when it's really next weekend the 26th) at least i have another week and almost a half to complete another damn bootie and cut and sew up a blankie or three for that matter.... ha! this weekend, that's my goal is to sit at the sewing table for a while :)
but back to this damn bootie, i realized that i started my straps two rows too soon.... i can pull out the straps and keep on going but i hate to do that... but for times sake and for my noses sake i probably should...
i have also made a little more headway on a hat for chris. he needs a new hat in a bad way i really really need to finish this for him sooner rather than later. reports back from my dad who uses his hat daily when he takes walks in the morning. he loves it! "it's snug but not too tight that it leaves marks on your forehead when you take it off"! yay! that's the sign of a great hat according to my dad!
as for me. i'm doing the same as i was last week. but at least i've had over a full week of normal sleep so i feel pretty normal in relative terms. i am starting to notice little things that are probably not very important that in my head are signaling that labor is soon to come. usually just pains in strange places that i haven't felt since i was really close to having max. plus i've been having small cramp-like contractions in the evenings for most of this week. nothing time-able but still noticeable.
to all my knitting friends, thanks for coming to my house on sunday for knitting! you have no idea how much i appreciate you coming out this way :) i do have to apologize though, i was in a sluggish mood and felt like i wasn't being the best hostess. i hope you all understand! and as a few of you pointed out, babies ARE in fact able to attend so hopefully i'll be able to make it to a few of the next few get togethers after andrew arrives.

Third time IS a charm. It took me three tries to knit the petal bib for Heather. But that could have been due to one too many tequila sunrises on the beach...
Please...I think everyone understands the sluggishness and if anything is impressed that you even hosted at all. And I'm happy to go to your place...I didn't realize before just how close you live to me. Good to hear you have another week to perfect your bootie!
No need to apologize! You were a lovely hostess. We all had places to sit and things to drink, not to mention a cute kitty and adorable baby for entertainment. Not to worry! I, too, am impressed that you were willing to host at all and I was glad to get to see you one more time before Andrew's arrival! (I typed William's arrival the first time...I think I need a nap!)
I have faith that you can knit the bootie. ;-)
I just got around to readong your post. Thank you for having us over. I couldn't believe you hosted at all. I hope your booties are ready for the shower on Sunday. I hope they turned out well :)
