More handknits in action!
Erik keeping warm in his Baby Sophisticate cardigan
Nothing beats getting wrapped up in a cozy leaf blanket!
Mary from my knitting group made this for him, and it's absolutely darling.
Mama in her Aidez cardigan, Erik in his Puerperium, and Papa in his favorite flannel shirt. Looks like someone needs a handknit sweater. : )
Erik pumping iron while wearing his Easy Baby Cardigan (now sadly felted after an accidental trip through the dryer)
tummy time in his ill-fated cardigan (btw, I was skeptical of this sweater when it came off the needles, but the fit was great and it looked good on him).

Cooking, on the other hand, has been going full-force chez Caffeinated Yarn. Some recent favorites:
- split pea soup
- seriously healthy 4-bean chili
- West African peanut soup

Love these pics!! Someone is very photogenic :)
Hi! These pictures are wonderful. And oh my goodness, that leaf blanket is the cutest. Hope all is going well with settling into a 2014 routine. And hellos from me and Boh to all of you!
Glad to see some updated photos of your little boy! I bet that it is cold there again today!
Ahhh, what a beautiful family! I love the photo of all of you. And Erik looks like such a Viking baby! :) Going back to work/navigating daycare is SO hard. But you'll get into the swing of things soon. And the colds are the worst! Poor little dude. (In my experience, daycare provides a great workout for little immune systems! :) )
Love the pictures, Erik is a cutie, especially in all the handknits!
I make a stew very similar to the African Peanut soup, in fact it's on the stove as I write. Do you think I could leave out the meat out of the 4 bean chili and not have much of a flavor difference? It sounds yummy and I am always on the hunt for vegetarian chili recipes.
Erik is one of the best handknit models! It's so hard to get good photos now that Emma runs all over, but is too young to understand posing for the camera.
Best of luck with the transition back to work. It does take some time to get used to a new schedule. IMHO, flexibility is a big key to parenting.
Easy knitting FTW! I'm still mostly in that mode with an almost 19 m old. ;-) (sjn821 on Rav)
Hey, BCGramma,
The chili is great without the meat! I essentially made the entire recipe vegetarian at first, then added browned ground beef to half the batch and cooked it separately in the crockpot for the meat-eaters. Both versions were good! I added some extra spices, too -- cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, chipotle chile pepper, and ground New Mexico green chile pepper.
Erik is such a cute baby. So nice to see babies in handknits. Look forward to seeing him grow. Glad you have time for a little knitting, just what you need.
Well 2013 was good, baby Eric is a doll and you guys make a lowly family! I hope 2014 is off toa. Good start, I have been doing lots of knitting, a relief after being unproductive in the yarny sense last year:)
