Helllloooooo Bay-bee, oooo
I can finally share the rest of the baby knits I worked on now that everything has been gifted.First up, an Upside Down Daisy Hat for my friend, Stef who is due any day now.
Specs:Pattern: Upside Down Daisy Hat by Susan B. Anderson from Itty Bitty Hats
Yarn: Knit Picks Swish DK in Petal, Pale Lemon & Asparagus
Needles: Addis Turbo US Size 6 16" circulars
Mods: The pattern suggested using a lighter weight yarn for the petals, but since I had this yarn in my stash, I just went with it. Because of this, I needed only 4 petals on top of that hat instead of the recommended 5 or 6.
Up next:
Yup, more Saartje's Booties. I seriously LOVE this pattern and think it makes the perfect baby gift! One of these went to a charity auction for a friend's son's school and the other was gifted tothe sweet new mama, Miss MaryMo.

In the spirit of babies, my blogless friend, Jess and I had a baby shower for our friend, Stef and I made, what else, cupcakes! This recipe was just too awesome not to share with you. Of course, these are 100% vegan and they were soooooooo good. Seriously one of the most delish recipes I have ever made! Recipe here.

You are so stinking amazing. The booties went so fast at the auction! Thank you.
Now I have to ask you for a hat to match. I'd like to buy it for business. So many of the parents of small children (9mo-12 mo) are looking for cool hats like this.
