A Model Baby
Taking the Rest of the Day OffYesterday, I had a thoroughly enjoyable day off. I met a fellow knitsib for lunch, and we went to visit another knitsib, Katerina, who had a baby nearly two weeks ago.Isn't Aiden Michael cute? Anyone recognize the hat and socks?  

Little Boy Blue Too
Little Boy BlueHere's my second Little Boy Blue Hat.  I dropped a needle size, and while the hat isn't much smaller than the one I did the other day, it feels tighter and not as floppy. I need to block the edge, so even though I'm going to visit the baby today, he won't get the hat until later. 

It's a Flop!
Sockhead Hat This April, on my way to Create South in Myrtle Beach, I purchased some OnLine from Island Knits in Pawleys Island. The yarn looked great on the skein, but the sock, was a fail. I hated the way the yarn knitted up as a sock.  After working the cuff, I decided to frog it. Several months later, I saw the Sock

None of the Above?
Little? Boy? Blue? Hat I started the hat the other day for my friend Kat's baby, Aiden Michael, who was born last week.  I like the pattern, and I took the needle down from the recommended 7 to a 6 because the hat is for a 12 to 24 month old, and I want it for a younger baby. I also used a Plymouth Yarn's Baby Boutique in Aqua, but I'm not certain if this color is suitable for a boy.

Picture Pages--Owen's Socks & Cabled Baby Hat
Owen's Socks for Aiden Michael A knitsib had a son last week, and although I have almost finished a sweater for the baby, and may still finish it soon, I'm more in the mood for hats and socks. I've wanted to knit Owen's Socks  for quite a while now, but I still tend to avoid anything that has short rows and wraps.  They are so cute, however, I managed to get over my fear, and give them a try.
