Bitty Blue Hat

Fall is mostly about my little boy, Connor. Halloween, his birthday in November, trips to London and Hilton Head to visit Grandmas and finally Christmas..... It's a long haul of celebration, family and fun. Most of what I sew and make right now are for him.


This is the my first completed knitting project in 16 years. I took up crochet last year and returned to knitting this year - I'm getting faster every day. This was a fun quick thing. And the big payoff:

"Mama, I look pretty!"

Now he wants me to sew him a dress. Boys do wear dresses, Mama. Help!!

    My suggestion is to make him a Kilt. Many men still wear them: I've visited a popular website devoted to the sale of kilts. I have male friends who wear kilts. That could lead to a discussion to the Celtic culture, music and dance, the Scots and Irish their history, and influence in our culture. Easy.

    Plus, I just Googled "kilts" and found many links.

    My son always wanted to wear my daughter's dresses, and it upset my husband terribly. We solved the problem by getting him dress-up costumes that were sparkly and pretty yet masculine.

    My daughter continues to dress him up in dresses.

    PS, Touran,
    I am also thinking he might need to have his first haircut. His curly locks are beautiful, but it may be time for them to go and a lock to be preserved in your scrapbook. I know how mothers are about this, and I sympathize.
