Omnomnom

My dad's coworker is pregnant and due in February, so my dad asked if I could knit something for her. After some browsing around Ravelry, I came across the cutest newborn hat! 

It's a fish that looks like it's going omnomnom on a little baby's head! I was also happy I got to use that new creepy baby model I bought! 

It's the same yarn that I used for the baby dress I made before, in case the colours look familiar to you. You had to pick up the stitches to put together the finals, but strangely, picking up those stitches were easier than if I was picking them up off an edge, so I didn't get annoyed at all.

I was originally going to use buttons for the eyes, but my mom said it might be uncomfortable for the baby since their heads are so soft and squishy, so I opted for cut out fabric instead. I think the end result looks better than if I had chosen to go with buttons, so it was a good call on my mom's part.

Anyway, this came a day late from Halloween, I guess a newborn could go as fish-food? Haha.

For Halloween, I went as a pirate grabbed from random stuff around the house, and some props from high school. 

And random, but I took the cutest photo of Ellie yesterday, and I love to show her off of course!
