Little Alex is due to arrive next week, and I'll be headed to the post office on Saturday with a box containing three of my standard, all cotton poop-n-puke blankets, which I have been making for beloved babies the world over since 1985, and three (Count 'em!! Three!!) little delights for the delicate newborn noggin. Check 'em out!
Counter-clockwise from the upper right, the first is the previously blogged first foray with circular needles, with a pompom added for a little fun and flair. It is completely precious, but I was concerned that, even for the most newly-arrived melon, it would be a wee bit wee. So, I took another stab at it, doing complete and utter "whim-knitting" for the second go-round. And around I went, to the tune of 96 stitches per, in a 5 knit-1 purl pattern. For Lucky Number Three, I found some larger needles on sale and undertook Vintage Knits' Rolled Brim Baby Hat with Top Knot. All told, I ended up with three hats that appear to be all of varying sizes, so here's hoping that at least one of them will work for the little bugger!
And I got 'em all done before the baby arrived!! Go, me!

Awesome, brilliant and fantastic are the words that come to mind. Well done! I'm incredibly impressed. I have knited in the round, but I've never made a hat. Most impressive!
Oh, so adorable! I'm mighty impressed with your skillz, JZ.
