Evan's Patriotic Bucket Hat

Evan was born Sunday morning . . . he was supposed to be Bridget. Boy, and I use that term literally and figuratively, did his momma get a surprise when the nurses put him on her chest, but side toward her face!

Since I had made "Bridget" so many pink things, I had to quickly make something "masculine" for Evan. This bucket hat is the result.

I was worried that the brim might b e to floppy, but momma put it n his head, right when  he woke up, and it was great. Momma said it is the perfect since she can't put sun screen on him for quite a while, so it will protect his face from the sun, yet he will be able to see out and people will be able to see his face.

Miss Sophia's Hat

Here is the latest . . . Miss Sophia's Hat,
named for the neighbor baby
who made her appearance
on July 11, 2012.

I kidded her daddy today
 that I thought
she was going to be a boy.
So when I found this light blue yarn
that has a hint of shading in it
I thought it would be perfect.

But I had to add some flowers
to give it a feminine flair.

The yarn is Lang Mikonos.
I believe I got it in a swap.
It has some linen in it
and is SO SOFT!
Perfect for a cool summer night.
