You shouldn’t though. Shaking babies is bad.
My manager at work is due in December, so we had a shower for her at work last week. You may know my anti-pastels-for-children policy, so I jumped for joy when I found a baby hat designed to be made with Noro!
My poor camera is on its way out, so I took these with the not-great camera phone:
Cuffed and uncuffed. (It’s amazing how similar my Magic 8 Ball is to the size of a newborn baby’s head.)
This hat has such a HUGE payoff for very little work. I started it during a web design meetup presentation on PHP and the crown shaping is really easy to keep track of in your head. Well, I’ve had a bit of lace knitting practice, so it might not have been so easy for me a couple of years ago.
Mama and Daddy loved it and I think were both relieved by the pretty colors. I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of the wrapping paper, but it was white with photographs of chimps wearing party hats. Again, compliments. I love how being my quirky, unusual self surprises people. I also love that their surprise surprises me; I so often live in my own little bubble world.
