Unfortunately one of the side effects of pregnancy is baby brain - my brain has been absolute mush over the past few months. Early on in my pregnancy baby brain really took a toll on me - so much so that I could not knit for the life of me! My friend had twins back in August and I attempted to knit them gifts 3 times (the 3rd time was a charm!). It was absolutely ridiculous! I found I couldn't follow patterns properly, and I kept making mistakes! It was horrible! But since then I've gotten my knitting groove back and I'm well on my way :D That is, until the carpel tunnel sets it - I'm not looking forward to that!
Over the past few months I was able to knit my little one a baby blanket, and as I mentioned previously, some baby gifts :) My sister-in-law also had a little baby boy in August and I really wanted to knit him a hat to keep his little noggin warm during the winter months. I found this cute Aviatrix hat pattern on Ravelry and fell in love with it. The pattern looks hard, but once I got going it was actually not too bad! I used Debbie Bliss Cashmerino yarn.
