Today's wish list item is the Custom Knit Funky Newborn Munchkins Hat Stocking Cap red and white stripes with cord and tassel from Mad About Color on Etsy.com.
I had a very strong desire to purchase one of these for Teddy in advance. Only a picture that Gwyn sent -- of Nic and her on the beach -- reminded me that they live in a sunny piece of California that probably never requires warm knit hats.
Luckily, I live in New England. A popular comedian once said that we have four seasons here: "Almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction." Perfect hat weather. And Evie will be just over a month old at Christmas, perfect this hat weather.
Actually, the entire Mad About Color shop reads to me like Temptation.com. As I mentioned before, my mom and my Aunt both have the amazing knitting skills to turn out pieces of clothing like artwork. Me... not so much. But I have been bred with a love and appreciation for this kind of work and for anyone who can create it.
And when I can place it on my baby (my own work of art) and display him or her for the day care ladies to coo over -- even better!
Many thanks to Joanne for allowing me to post about the items in her shop -- and many MANY congratulations on her new baby grandson.
