A little bubba is due to join our extended family in just over two weeks, cue lots of making :) The timing of this particular arrival is perfect as I have quite a bit of time on my hands (a definite perk of not being in full-time employment). After some searching (thanks Pinterest) for free hat patterns (there are so many good ones out there), I settled on this one. It was incredibly simple and took no time at all to make. The sex of the baby has been kept a secret so I went with yellow. My sister informs me that yellow is more of a 'girl' colour but whatevs. I'm sure my cousin won't mind. I'm also in the process of knitting a baby blanket too (so much glorious time on my hands). Here's a sneek peak.
In other news, tomorrow will mark two years since Mitch brought Moriarty home. At two years and two months, he's doing pretty well for an old boy. We've all noticed that he's a lot more reluctant to come out of his cage these days but when he does, the little guy is so full of beans, running and climbing about all over the place, just like the old days :)
Ooooohh, I love the look of that blanket! And I'm not sure yellow is a girly colour, I made a yellow and white blanket for a friend's baby who turned out to be a boy and he still uses it every day! The hat with ears is very cute indeed :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's true, I mean it's not like the baby knows and will object! Aw thank you :)
DeleteHmm I would have thought yellow was one of those safe neutral colours for a baby. All the same that's a super cute hat, wouldn't mind one of those for myself!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely make one! It's a children's pattern but I reckon it would be pretty straightforward to enlarge :)
DeleteIs yellow a girl colour? I thought it looked like Winnie the Pooh! Well I just made something blue for a baby I don't know the sex of yet and I think it's awesome ;) That blanket looks great so far, I better get to see the finished version!
ReplyDeleteHaha, Winnie the pooh, I cam see that :) i bet your blue knitted item IS awesome. Yep, the blanket is coming along nicely, hope to finish it this week, stay tuned :)
DeleteThat blanket looks gorgeous! And no, I don't think yellow is a girls colour either (I mean, I don't think ANY colour is a girls/boys/non-gender-binary colour but even for people who do, I'm pretty sure yellow is seen as neutral)
ReplyDeleteAh thanks! Hope to finish it v.soon. This is v.true. Colours are just colours afterall :)
