One more sleep....

Grandchild #1 is nearly here, her mum was induced around 3pm today, #1 son has been with her, nothing happening yet, and as she is in the maternity part of the hospital, he can't stay passed visiting at 8pm. When she is taken to the birthing ward then he can stay with her, so a sleepless night here in our home waiting for the call back to the hospital. The nurse doesn't think anything will happen tonight.

I am knitting a hat for her in the same colour as this jumper I finished yesterday. It had been knitted for a couple of weeks, but needed to be stitched together and the buttons put on it.
I am still knitting on the shawl, it probably has about 50 hours more knitting to go. My fingers have been giving me hell and I wake at around 4am with terrible pain as if they are going to break off, so I can't knit at much each night as I would like. The knitting doesn't seem to hurt while doing it, but oh boy through the night is pure hell.

The little jumper is gorgeous and it will look lovely on your new granddaughter too. Glad everything went well for them and she is very cute too. The shawl is just absolutely beautiful.
