Yay! I don't have to learn how to knit, at least not this week!
(Not that I have anything against knitting or knitters -- indeed, I often toss around the idea of learning -- but as my good friends can attest I need another hobby [especially one that involves stuff] like I need a hole in my head.)
As I mentioned earlier, the younger daughter of my daycare provider has decided to give the babies nicknames. Kieran is now Pumpkin Muffin, which is an absolutely perfect nickname for him.
I decided, upon brief reflection, that Kieran absolutely needs a little orange hat with a stem and leaf, as appropriate for his new nickname. I considered sewing it, but honestly I find that hats are a serious pain in the ass to get right. Obviously it needed to be knit. And I don't knit. I considered pestering one of my many knitting friends to teach me, but I was concerned that the level of expertise needed to knit a hat with a stem might make the whole endeavor even more impractical.
So I moped. (I mope well.)
Today at work we took one of our office temps out for ice cream for her last day. There's a local farm that makes their own ice cream and sells a variety of farmstand items. And...
YES...
knit pumpkin hats!
Score!
I will post a photo after I pick him up and get to stick it on his head (-:
