Bobbles Hat

I have finished the Bobbles Hat to go with the Bobbles Blanket from Pipsqueak Knits. I made the blanket before Christmas, and just finished the hat in time for the new baby, Lea Elise, born on the tenth of February. She weighed nine pounds, four ounces (poor Mom) and is quite healthy and ready for action.

I'm re-washing the blanket in soak; it just didn't feel soft enough yet, and I hope this second soak in soak works!

Bobbles!

I have just finished the Bobbles blanket from the pipsqueak knits book and I'm quite happy with it, and happy that I have no more bobbles to knit until I take up making the hat after Christmas. The baby is not due until February, so I have time. Mine is a very pale yellow; I do like the blue on the cover better, but like so many parents today, this couple has chosen not to find out the sex of the baby ahead of time. These young people apparently do not know that they frustrate grandparents everywhere, grandparents who would love to knit, sew, or shop well in advance of baby's arrival!

This is the book the pattern is in. Isn't the blanket and hat set cute?

And what a cute and cooperative model!
