The sun was already up when I stepped outside the door this morning.
I let the goats out of the pen, cleaned the goat house, and fed the animals.
It feels like spring - a breezy 60°- as I settled down outside with my daily notebook and a cup of coffee.
On Tuesday I received a special request from Lil Mama for a baby hat in pink to match Joel's newborn beenie. I replied, "Yes, Mama, for you - anything❤️".
I searched on Ravelry for baby hat patterns and found Melissa Simpson's, "Be Kind", a 3x2 ribbed beenie. Perfect.
Searched my yarn stash and found a pink ball of the Oh-So-Soft Leche yarn. Perfect again.
Yesterday I cast on 70 stitches for the newborn size, 14 inches. Tiny hat makes for quick knitting.
Last night I tried out a couple of big pom poms with the Clover Pom Pom Maker.
Meh. I decided the big pom poms were a bit much for the newborn hat and I didn't care for the scratchy (squeaky!) acrylic yarn.
For the top of the hat I added a simple "umbical" i-cord with a knot.
A nice bath in SOAK Scentless.
*Baby is due to arrive in May, for some reason I thought it was March. Hehe
