baby hats!

i've become obsessed with knitting hats - specifically, baby hats.  i can understand that translating as a little odd, as i have no babies and don't really even know any tiny babies anymore.  however, i've been making them like crazy (the hats, not the babies) and i loooove it.  there was a period of time, around march, when i was way into making adult knit hats and even forced one on luke's dad the first time i met him - he ended up walking around palm springs in spring wearing a double-knit fisherman's hat all weekend (...he's a very kind man).  it wasn't long after that that i realized adults aren't really ever as jazzed about wearing hats as i am about making them.  i suppose it was only a matter of time before i set my sights on the newborns - after all, they don't care at all about what's on their heads and they tend to be cold.  plus, tiny things are adorable and i think you have more freedom making things for kids - anything is flattering or cute on a baby.

because i'm super obsessed, i needed to get some pictures up here immediately and could not wait to figure out the tech problem with my actual camera.  thus, i've used photobooth and the pictures are borderline awful, but hopefully you get the idea.  i gotta admit, they're way cute in person (and in better pictures).  

if you know any babies, let me know.  i've got a drawer full of tons of different hats and they need homes!

(the tassel on the gray one is a personal favorite)
