Baby Topper
Babies babies everywhere! Yikes, something must be in the air because so many people I know are expecting babies any day now. A friend I hadn't heard from in a while called to tell me that she is due with her first child around Thanksgiving. So, while I was at my knitting group the other night I decided to whip up a little hat for baby-to-be. Armed with an #8 16" circular and some leftover tid bits of Lamb's Pride from my stash, I spontaneously knit this!
No pattern, nada, and magically the math worked out. Lucky me. If only I could have knit for credit way back when in the good really bad 'ol days of High School. The old biddy who sucked all the intrest out of learning algebra with her icy cold demeanor would probably have benefitted from some practical application of math. But the focus here is on new life, spontenaity, joy, and warm wishes for a first time momma. Oh, and warm little heads!

Tell me about it, my SIL is expecting her 2nd child soon along with a few other of husband's relatives in Singapore. I was jokingly saying that it must be the water there but I don't think they got it. There are several girlfriends of mine who are gonna pop too. I love the hat, I'm sure the baby will enjoy the warmth it brings. You're very talented putting it together without a pattern :-)

Love the hat. I really like the colors too..a nice departure from traditional baby color! You go girl!

That's a terrific baby cap, and it's such a nice change from traditional baby colours. Yes, there must be something in the air as we discovered four of our friends or connected friends were all expecting recently.
