Wow, where did June go?
I have been knitting...really. Here's proof:
The most common complaint I hear from my friends when they’re expecting a girl is that as much as they like the pink, it gets overwhelming.
As a result, this modern color combo was born – a little mocha trim and pink and mocha pom-pom baby hat! A fast knit and 100% cotton yarn.
