I have to say that I do not like that much, just *another* thing to make things uncomfortable. Oh, and lovely hat! I really wish I could knit.

Nesting urge huh? You know what the old wives tales say about that, baby on it`s way soon. Excellent sign (even if it comes to nothing soon). Scrubbing on all fours also good for dilation :) Great to hear you are in good spirits and once again keeping yourself busy. Stay well. oohh cute hat! Nesting urge huh?

He remembered a couple of years ago (like 3!) that he bought me a poinsetta just before Christmas and I loved it and he saw this one when he went to the dentist after I had been to the doctor`s on Saturday and was shook up by dr`s c-section news. It doesn`t smell at all though! The red parts are actually leaves that have gone red- apparently we can keep it alive until next year but we would need to put it in a box for 4 months from May or so otherwise it won`t go red next year. Weird huh? I think I will start on some boots in the next couple of days- I have only made booties with thicker wool though- not sure how I would go with this thinner wool- might need to find a different pattern!! Hotels are booked for their stay in Japan- they planned their trip based on advice I gave them! Ie, good places to visit and see etc. Brother just sent back all the dates in the last couple of days and I organized their accomodation. Fun to plan trips, hey!

Does it smell at all? The hat is gorgeous - I can just imagine goma chan wearing it this winter. He is going to look so cute. If you have time (and motivation) to make the booties then I would go for it - what could be better than a matching hat and bootie set!! Have fun helping to plan your brother and his girlfriend's trip to Japan!! I love planning trips... wish I could do it more often, lol! I love that plant Shun bought you – it is beautiful!!

It is the only hat I have ever made and this is my 4th one- have made it as a gift a couple times before as well. I am not the best knitter but this pattern is easy to follow and doesn`t take too long!! Good luck Definitely give it a go!

I tried a hat once, it didn't work out too well, and I have been afraid of them ever since. One of my coworkers is having a baby so maybe I'll attempt the hat. Easy sounds good!
