I am going to be happy with whatever we get in August when grandbaby is born…but I hope at some point I get a granddaughter to wear this hat!
I wish I had a head to put it on to show how adorable it is. (I don’t know what I will do for a background when we get rid of the grass we grew in pots for the wedding, I’m loving it for pictures but we’ve promised it to a friend and just haven’t given it to her yet).
Anyway, I love, love, love this hat! I love the vintage look of it and I think to see a little girl turning her head back and forth with those white loopies will be so cute!
Do you agree?
And now I need to flip through the book and find another hat to start on. I’m so glad that my friend helped bump me out of my inability to make a decision on where to start knitting for baby. It helped to think that this is probably just the beginning of several grandchildren and I can put away what isn’t needed this time.
World-Wide Knit in Public Day is this coming Saturday. Do you have plans to be knitting somewhere in public? I do. We’ll be knitting downtown at the new street market our community has. I have to leave early to go to a very special graduation but I get over 4 hours at WWKIP so that’s good! If you don’t have a plan in your area, grab a friend and sit at the park or at the mall or on a bus. It’s great fun!
And now I just got a call that Comcast is at the shop to change over my internet and install a tv connection so I had better get ready to go. Hubby is taking care of the technical part of it. Woohoo! I found it was cheaper to change over to them and get phone, internet AND tv than it was for what I was currently doing for my slow connection.

Really cute hat! I love making baby stuff. Have you made any baby socks yet? I found a free pattern at socknitters.com. Click around till you find Judy’s Infant Socks. They knit up pretty fast and are so adorable. Panda Cotton has cute baby colors and no wool. Also easy care. Just a thought for something different. Plus I’ve made several top down raglan sweaters in pink and blue, even white. Someday maybe I’ll get to be a Nana too. Glad that you are having fun!

Oh beautiful little hat. I really enjoyed having a girl after having two boys, chance to knit all the pretty things.
