a funny thing happened on the way to the blog Well, not actually funny and not actually one thing, more like a vast conspiracy of things preventing me from blogging until right now. First, I had a school meeting, then a class field trip, then I had to feed the baby lunch, then it was time to pick up the kids after school, and then there was an impromptu playdate. Now, finally, about ten hours after I left the house, I can tell you that I finished the wee wig hat.
Unfortunately, I've made the bangs too short. We'll have to wait one more day for our finished modeled shot. Hey, it may not be real hair, but I'm sure wee one still wants her hair looking its best for its photo shoot! Until then, I can show you some pics of her in her upside-down daisy hat (from Itty-Bitty Hats
Looooove that hat!! posted by alison at 5:28 pm | in

Awww, how sweet! Can't wait to see the wig, too. I made myself one of those in just about the same color. Very cool pattern! I hope you share your' baby-sizing mods with us later! Posted by: Amy at September 19, 2007 5:47 PMI love that hat! I made it for a friend and it got rave reviews. Yours is adorable. And you've totally inspired me to make a wig for my own costume this year. Thanks! Posted by: Lauren at September 19, 2007 5:55 PMSo cute! Posted by: Michelle at September 19, 2007 6:00 PMIt'll be worth the wait. Thank you for indulging us. Oh my it's getting harder and harder to pick favourite pics of L. She's cute enough to be on a knitting magazine cover or to be a Gerber baby. Look out Jane Seymour. Posted by: Anita at September 19, 2007 6:08 PMThat baby wig is so cute! What alterations to the pattern did you make? smaller gauge? Posted by: Megan at September 19, 2007 7:07 PMhey - she can be Emily Elizabeth for Halloween now! if only you wanted to be Clifford... and I'm betting you don't. Posted by: thea at September 19, 2007 7:25 PMCute as can be! I acn't wait to see the hair hat, hee hee hee Posted by: Sarah at September 19, 2007 7:55 PMI swear to you she's the third cutest baby in the world. (I have 2 daughters) Those eyes! Those CHEEKS! I loved making my hallowig a few years back and was thinking about making my wee one hers. So ditto on the pattern changes. Posted by: Jen at September 19, 2007 9:27 PMAwwww - how cute. Can't wait to see the wig hat on Wee One. I can't tell you how disappointed I was that Baby M hates hats with a passion. I made her tons of cute hats with all my left over self patterning sock yarn. But she just would not abide wearing any. Hope she will be more reasonable this winter about wearing a hat now that she will be less swaddled in blankets when she does leave the house (since she will be walking very shortly). Posted by: Donna at September 19, 2007 10:01 PMUm, Donna, not likely. My 9 yo never liked hats and still doesn't. I watched a couple try to get their baby into a snowsuit. My goodness what an ordeal! Apparently, some of them don't like snowsuits either. Posted by: Anita at September 20, 2007 1:49 AMJust a comment on the "hat thing" -- my son loved hats, from a baby until now (he's 15 and will wear any kind of weird thing on his head, in fact the weirder the better), but my daughter would NEVER abide anything on her head! Even as a cue-ball bald little baby, I couldn't get her to leave those little elastic bands with bows on, and she will never wear a hat now. Of course, at 13, she is now worrying about "hat head" on her beautiful hair... I think it's just an inborn thing. Cute wig hat though, Alison, and I'm glad Wee One likes the hats you have made for her, because little girls are SO cute in little hats! Posted by: Dragonfly Judy at September 20, 2007 8:58 AMOooh! Cute hat. I just love that book. Last year I made a whole slew of those pumpkin hats. Everyone wanted them for their kids to wear to the pumpkin patch. It's a fun book. Posted by: Robby at September 20, 2007 9:13 AMLove the hat, can't wait to see the mini wig on the baby. I am sure she will appreciate you not showing the wig on her until it fits probably. This could be the start of a long love affair with the wig for her, or the subject of expensive therapy later on... :) Posted by: Pia at September 20, 2007 9:27 AMShe looks so much like her brothers! Posted by: LeAnne at September 20, 2007 11:35 AMaww!! it look awesome! Posted by: Morgan/Margaux at September 20, 2007 11:45 AMWig hat! I love it! Posted by: Carol at September 20, 2007 11:54 AMOh she is so beautiful! Look at that sweet face. From your experience with Itty Bitty Hats, and all your pics of the cute ones you have knit... I finally bought it last weekend. Thanks ;-) That wig idea is hilarious. I want to knit one for a friend's baby girl who is slow in growing her hair!
