Yet another baby hat, but this one done up on size 3 double-pointed bamboo needles the whole way. It seems that everybody’s having babies; I don’t know if it’s the war, or just biological clocks ticking away, or what, but the babies could stop now. They really could. I mean, don’t get me wrong – I like the little things, provided they’ve gotten past the stage where you can see their pulse in the soft spot on the top of their head. Something about there not being any skull to protect their brains just gives me the creeps, which is probably why we feel the need to knit them hats. But really – enough, already.
It is giving me the opportunity to get rid of all of this yarn, though I’d like there to be some girls, at least, if everyone’s going to keep on having all of these kids. It seems that they’ve all been boys lately, and that really puts a strain on my hat-making skills, as I’m having to resist giving scalloped edges, or frills, or laces. I mean, this one’s a bit lacy, and I’m hoping that his mommy will forgive me for it. We’ll see – and I hope they give me some good pictures of it on their site.

It’s not that lacy. Really. And babies are so …gender neutral I’m sure he’s Little Man enough to wear it with pride. Or at least not wake up if they put it on him.
No, babies never freaking cease. And I HAVE noticed they all seem to be boys lately. What’s up with that??
