knit hats and 5 months

[dabblersupreme]

nathaniel is 5 months old today. it really is crazy how time passes. i have enjoyed the hints of cooler weather and the promise of being able too dress him up in hand knits. i can't say i love being up for feedings in the chilly night air, though! i think i will like it more when it's colder - enough to warrant fires in the fireplace to keep us toasty.






so, i have been enamored with this hat he received as a gift and have been sad to realize it's already growing short on him (this picture is from several months ago)



so, i reverse engineered it and used up some scraps from various projects while i was at it.



i had more of the yarns left, so i made another one for nathaniel's friend. he was getting fussy with the photoshoot by this point



and here's a bird's eye view of both hats:



knitterly details of the hats can be found on my ravelry page

here he is passed out in the very adorable shirt he received from my friend naomi. we got it before he entered the world, and at the time i was hoping it would be applicable, but i didn't know for sure how nursing would go. as messed up as the birth and immediate aftermath were, nursing is one thing we kept on track :)
