Suddenly you notice that your baby has stopped waving round randomly and can suddenly do really co-ordinated things like brushing her hair while watching something else. And she's really not a baby any more.
However I consoled myself with something equally mysterious and impressive - a completed hand-knitted sock. It's a curious thing, I could do a naalbinding sock, turned heel and all, based on a simple diagram of the Coppergate sock, but knitted socks have seemed to me to be weirdly abstruse. And actually they still do - I just followed the pattern and like magic it turned into a sock! So a mystified 'woohoo!'.
