Beautiful afternoon here - and - the swearing tradies will depart soon. lol
I have been tryng to find a gift for DD's best friend - she is having a bub in August.
Not known for my knitting nor crocheting skills - found something that totally lets me off the hook - pun intended.
Saw this - so got the pattern - got the wool - etc - all wrapped with a yellow bow - meaning no idea yet.
The Grandmother to be is an OMG knitter - so a gift for the G'Ma & the bub - and she will get a laugh out of it.

My Mum was also an OMG knitter - can remember when DD was born - she did the whole set for DD to come home in - including the shawl - still have it packed away.
She did have one problem though the bonnet was too big - DD was long and thin - tiny head - so off Mum went home - got a teacup - an knitted another overnight.
This brought back memories of my mother and her knitting. She would often sit there in her chair at night, watching TV and knitting.
My sister & I didn't inherit the knitting gene. We can do a couple of basic stitches and that is it, I am afraid.
After my first baby was born, mum knitted and sewed quite a few things for her, including 2 little bonnets. There was a smaller one in yellow and then a larger size in pink. I'll show a photo of my daughter wearing one. It's not as if it is a recent photo.
My biggest regret is I lent them to someone but never got them back, although I had asked that they be returned. I had thought it was to my sister but she can't recall them.
I would have loved to have been able to pass them on to my grandkids. Luckily I did save some of the other things my mother made.
