just got your message - so sweet! All your kiddos are adorable and boy I bet you are one busy Mama!!! Hope you are able to sneak some knitting in here and there... I imagine you are going non-stop with a full house! :)
I'll pass the word along to my son ... and I'm sure he will turn all shades of red!
Take care!

I didn't get into knitting until my son was about 4 years old, so I don't have any secrets or advice in that area. You could try using a baby sling (etsy link - you can probably find less expensive elsewhere) I had a baby bjorn carrier that I used constantly and if I knit would've worked out perfectly.
Hang in there Amanda!

The Little Bubbles cardi is not difficult, there is a KAL and video tutorials for the bubble stitch - plus, you can always pm me if you get stuck and need help. The online knitting community makes us all neighbors (regardless of location) ☺ ☺ ☺
Have a great weekend & happy knitting!

You will love knitting these monsters. All the patterns are well written with very clear directions....and they do knit up really quickly.
Have fun & good luck!
