Yarn Along #1

This is my first 'Yarn Along' post. The idea was started by Ginny, where we share something we're knitting or crocheting, and something we're reading.

So I'm crocheting a bag for my nephew, Toby. It will hopefully look like Toby the steam tram from Thomas the Tank Engine. I'm using the super chunky Eskimo pure wool yarn from Drops by Garnstudio. It is so soft!! This is the first actual thing I've crocheted, apart from a small flower. It isn't perfect as I've just made up the pattern as I've gone along, but I'll be putting it in the washing machine to felt, so you won't notice the uneven rows so much ;)

The book is Baby-Led Weaning by Gill Rapley and Tracey Murkett. It makes so much sense to wean this way. I don't want to be forcing mush down my baby's throat! I also plan to breastfeed her on demand for as long as possible, so after she's had the freedom and trust to eat as and when she needs/wants, I don't want to take that away from her. She knows what she needs more than I do.
