One of the partners at work is having a baby boy soon and had a work shower last week. We’re not super close but, if I’m being completely honest, I wanted to get more on her good side–plus, I was bored with the second rainbow sock I was working on. So I made a little hat:
No fruit hats or crazy colors here–she wears a lot of black so I thought some classic French stripes would be good.
If I’m still being honest, this isn’t my best work. I started it the Thursday before a Tuesday shower and it took me a while to remember the tricks for changing colors on the stripes. It also turned out a little big, but by the time I realized that it was too late to start over.
But it’s cute and it was well-received. I made sure to package it up to the nines so it looked way more impressive:
Because that’s what advertising is about, right?
