My son Parker was born last Sunday, and while I've been hanging out holding a sleeping baby on my chest, I've taken the opportunity to have some yarn in my hands. I came up with this very basic baby beanie with stripes of a coordinating color worked through the bottom. This hat pattern is quick, easy, and doesn't use much yarn at all.

Materials:
Size H crochet hook
Knit Picks Shine worsted weight yarn, 2 colors

Oh thank goodness, maternity leave begins now. I'm so worn out. Just 2 more weeks to my estimated due date, so any time in the next month!

I'm watching scary movies, cuddling with my friend's black cat, and eating candy. Seems like a good way to spend Halloween to me!

Best part of Salt Lake City is that it's pretty.The red rocks in the mountains actually make me (dare I say it?) miss Las Vegas a little.
