All my friends were pregnant. Babies babies babies! So I knit hats. First, the hat and booties. The booties were from Vogue Knits for Babies and the hat was a Stitch n Bitch I cord knot hat with some pattern worked in to match the booties. All cotton. Those went to Freddie in England, happily wearing them here. Then came the hat for Jack in Massachussetts. I love that blue yarn, it was a knit picks cotton wool blend. Same type of hat. Then the cotton blue hat for Brandon, my neighbor here in my complex. By that time, I had to try something new, hence the pin wheel on the top (I just split the i cord and knit and then put them together in the middle). And then for Beverly, her family used to live here in my complex, and finally, in time for his baby shower, hat and booties (I found a seamless bootie pattern online, but I made so many changes to it, I couldn't repeat it) for baby Wynter. And his mom asked, will it fit him when he's born? No. So he scored another hat, started 2 days before he was born and finished while mama was in labor. And socks 2 days later, because when you are with a baby when he is born, you will do anything for him.
