I was at the OB/GYN office today for a test and while waiting for the appointment started in on a small pink baby hat. One nurse, then a patient, then someone else happened to walk past, and as they did I caught each one noticing my gray hair, my baby knitting, and then discreetly (they thought) checking out my belly to make sure I wasn’t the one expecting. Uh, that would be a no.
I was at a meeting at church tonight with it in my hands again.
One young mom said something that made it safe to ask her the obvious–yes, she was due in May–and she clearly wanted to…but stopped, embarrassed, just happening to mention it was going to be a girl.
Right, then, I should have a little left over when this is done. It’s always more fun to knit for someone you know is going to appreciate it. No, I didn’t hear a hint, did you? No worries there.
Then she wondered if I could teach her how to knit?
Absolutely! (And I am most definitely going to knit a little something for her baby!)
Meantime, just for fun, there’s no place like home.
