More Preemie Hats: Bebe Cotsoy & The 6th Degree

Queensland Collection: Bebe Cotsoy
Fiber: 50% Cotton, 50% Soy
Color: Light Teal
The latest that my LYS is open is on Thursdays, 7:30. Somehow, I don’t think “The Thursday Night Knitting Club,” would have hit the NY bestseller list. I wanted to get some serious spinning done, so I packed up my fiber and my current sock.
Somehow, (without realizing it) my outfit matched my fiber. I sat down to start spinning, and Leanne and Debbie start to laugh. I was wearing this black skirt with various shades of teal and blue flowers, with a light blue shirt to match, and it went perfectly with my Devon roving. Well, at least my green sneakers didn’t match, I thought.
I bought a skein of this delicious Bebe Cotsoy for the preemie hat knit-a-long that I’m doing. There’s enough for two hats, definitely, and it feels like liquid happiness.

Pat (yarn store owner) gave me one of their sample hats knit from this yarn, so I have 3 hats done; 2 from pink cotton and the store sample. Hopefully, I will have 2 more soon. I’m doomed to attend a baby shower this Sunday, so I figure that I can use that time to knit baby hats while the older women squeal over pink onesies and share the gruesome details of difficult births.
Thank God for knitting during difficult times.

ha I feel the same way about showers. I swear if I hear another grown woman say, ooh that’s so sweet, I’ll die, LOL

Wait till you have a baby, you’ll understand. Although as a recipient of showers tho it is hard to think of other things to say after a while than, “It’s so cute”, “Thank-you”, “It’s darling”, etc.Your voice gets sore after a little. BTW, who’s shower?
