wacky baby day!

All this rain (and a particularly crazy day yesterday) have left me in need of a little mood enhancer. Enter Wacky Baby Knits!

We all know that I enjoy babies in wacky knits. Especially my babies.

     
I'm feeling cheerier already.

So you won't be surprised when I tell you that I couldn't resist this hilarious little book full of silly knits for kids. I brought it to knitting group this weekend and we were all in stitches looking at the adorable photos of the babies in the funniest little knits. Like...

 

...these complete frog and pirate outfits. (And don't forget the cow suit on the front cover!) Now those are some Halloween costumes just begging to be knit!

In addition to these outfits, there's a series of seriously laugh-out-loud funny hat patterns. Are you ready? (Swallow that coffee, we don't want any messes on the keyboard.)

 
Elvis hat and Mohawk hat

Those are just too good!

And for those who like to knit baby booties, there's a gaggle of giggle-inducing footies too.

 
Furry Bear Feet and Monster Boots and Mitts

Oh my, I feel so much better now. What's a little rain or a stressful mommy day when I can stay inside and knit a baby Elvis hat for my kids?!

Love the Elvis hat! If my bachelor uncle would ever settle down and have a baby that would be first on the list of presents!

What a terrific book! I must get it! After knitting the blueberry pie hat for our new grandbaby I think I see a trend--silly hats from Grandma!!

How totally cute. My favorites are the cow costume and the Elvis hat.

The world needs more babies clad in crazy!

Those are hilarious!! I may buy the book so I can start giving a funny hat with the regular baby hats I knit and give at showers.

Just when I needed a lift, I read this post... And it did exactly what was needed. I chuckled out loud... Thank you :-)
