I am SO behind in the news! CONGRATULATIONS! I’m so excited for you (and relieved to know that you’d do this again after already going through labour twice – whew). I’m calling 2007 ‘Year of the Baby’ because you’re now number 8 of people I know expecting this spring/summer!
How exciting!
Very Cute!!
Very cute!
Adorable!!
Those are sweet!
Just darling!
They look adorable, thanks for the pattern.
I have to agree it seems that a lot of bloggers are having new babies this year. How nice though isnt it. I love the baby hat, and the pattern too. I cant wait to see how your pinwheel blanket will turn out either. Are you going to wait until after you find out what your having as to what color you make it, or are you just making a gender neutral one.
The baby bonnet is extremely adorable. Thanks for sharing the pattern!
I can’t see the beginning of the pattern, the picture covers it up.
It is such a cute pattern
Love the picture of this hat! But, as Linda Hill said – the picture covers up the beginning instructions. Would love to make this hat happen. Can you help?
