(It’s a doll).
Can you even stand it? It’s so cute! I knit this little baby hat for the shower I’m going to tonight. I used Tahki’s Cotton Classic, and the pattern is in this book.
I made the preemie size because I wanted it to be a truly newborn hat, not that 0-6 months size that is way too big for a new baby.
In house news, we came to verbal mutual acceptance on the house last night. No, seriously. We put an offer on the house sometime after 6pm, faxed it over, went to look at it again with the in-laws, came home, and got a phone call from our realtor with a counter offer, which we accepted. So, as of 9:30 or so last night, we have mutual acceptance, although right now it is still just verbal. We will sign everything today, and we’re trying to get the inspection set for tomorrow morning.
I can’t believe how fast this has gone! A little over a week ago, I had no idea we would even be looking to move, and now, we have an offer on a house that has been accepted.
Here’s hoping ours sells as quick.
I need to pack.
V was so sick yesterday. I couldn’t get her coherent until late afternoon, when her eyes finally stopped rolling back in her head, and her fever dropped. I made her drink some Gatorade.
Fortunately, she is feeling better today, so I’m going to take a shower then head off to my sister-in-law’s to get boxes.

Congrats on the house. Moving is a pain – but well worth it when you love the new place.

WAHoO!
That hat is the bees knees, to use the parlance of my grandmother’s times. I love it. I made a similar adult version, but because I was winging it and didn’t know better, the ruffle was way too ruffly and made me look like a moron. But this is much nicer, I’m totally making that hat with a gentler ruffle for myself, maybe out of cotton to wear in the spring.
Poor V. 🙁

Best wishes to all of you in your new home! So glad you have found a place that will allow you to stretch out a little. Babies always have SO much stuff for such little people 😉

That hat is so cute, and congrats on the house! I hope the wee one feels better soon.

Isn’t it amazing how fast things start rolling? Once you make that decision to start looking, it gets crazy all of a sudden. I’m so glad you found a place so quickly and I’ll be sending you sell-quick vibes. I don’t think you’ll have a problem selling your house in that area. I was amazed that ours had two asking-price offers within 5 hours of being on the market!

Love the hat. So glad to hear V is doing better. I’m really excited about the new house.

Congratulations on the house and the oh-so-cute hat, and good to know that V is getting better. Yay!

Awww, she looks cute, but I’m sure she feels horrible. I hope she gets better soon! (and that no one else gets sick!)
In other news, the hat is great!! And yay for the house progressing so quickly; that’s awesome!!

Oh, her eyes just don’t look as bright as they usually do. I’m glad she’s feeling better.
