That changed Saturday night. We don't have cable TV, but we are baseball fans. Saturday night's game of the Giants vs. the Phillies was a good excuse to have fun going out as a family to a local pizza place with a big screen TV. As soon as we were done celebrating the Giants' win, my boy turned to me and said "I know what I want you to knit for me. . . a black and orange hat that says "GIANTS" across the front." Well, how could I resist that request?
First, I picked up some yarn and came up with a plan:
Then I knit my boy a hat:
The lucky kid will be wearing it tonight at the game. I made him promise to take pictures. Maybe I will write up the pattern and put it on Ravelry, meanwhile . . . GO GIANTS!
The boys are on their way to San Francisco, and I'm off to check out some other WIPS!

Go Giants! As a displaced NorCal girl, I'm rooting hard out here in the rockies. :) How fun that he gets to go to the game!
ReplyDelete... great hat!! Hope they win :)
ReplyDeleteThe hat turned out amazing! I'm not a big baseball fan (and when I am, the Dodgers are my team..I'm sure you don't like to hear that being a Giants fan!), but I'm a huge hockey fan. I'd kill to make a beanie like that for my favorite hockey team!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I have yet to try and create anything not based on a pattern, someday!
ReplyDeleteOf course you have to go write up the pattern & put it up on Ravelry!
ReplyDeletehere from WIPW!
Hmm, since my DEE-troit Tigers aren't in the hunt this year, maybe I'll root for the team that has orange as one of its colors. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteSweet cap! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteGreat job getting that hat finished in time for him. We are Chicago Cubs fans first, then Boston Red Sox.
ReplyDeleteHe's a lucky boy to have a mom who can whip up a pattern on the fly like that! You should definitely write up the pattern.
ReplyDeleteNice hat! I love it when I'm asked by my daughter to knit something...not often, but once in a while ;)
ReplyDeleteUm, if I tell you this Saturday about something I want, could ya, would ya, make it for me??? You are awesome and that is one lucky kiddo!
