Gina knitted a baby hat recently, which I knew it would be the perfect little gift for a friend who is about to pop! It was on and off the needles in a day. Even if I had to substitute a chunkier weight yarn for the green bits. I sort of like the lumpy leaf look though.
My model, Reggie, is less convinced.
I didn't want him to get too puffed up with all the comments the other day about how lovely he was. Truth be told, he's a bit of a git. Likes nothing better that to swipe at me from between the banisters when I am going downstairs with an armful of laundry and am defenceless. Call this my revenge.
Haha Your picture of Reggie made me smile.

Love the hat but er, clearly that isn't a view shared by Reggie! Something tells me the gloves may be off his claws now! Give the banisters a wide berth! E x

Awwww - gingertom! Or should I say 'I'm not ginger I'm strawberry blond!'
Not amused most definitely, but ever so gorgeous nontheless.

Our ginger cat used to ambush us on the landing or as we passed through doorways. It took careful planning to get past unscathed.

Hahaha -- you're too funny! I'm in need of revenge myself -- perhaps I should knit a little cap and pop it on my local git LOL! (Very, very cute hat!)

Oh love the hat. Never mind the baby, I'd have one for me.
Revenge is sweet Reggie!

Ali, I am a little worried about you, because, HE WILL BE AVENGED!
but the hat is adorable.

Such a fantastic photograph Ali! You are in serious trouble now though...

You've heard of the evil eye now haven't you, only 'pained expression' doesn't quite cover that. Can I suggest you don full body armour until he forgets ;)

He looks as if he is out to get you!

Poor Reggie - the less cheery 'Cat in the Hat'!
Can I ask where you got the pattern for the hat from as one of my friends is nearing her due date and I'd love to have a go at making her baby one, it's brilliant.

Gorgeous hat, gorgeous cat :-). I'm impressed he sat with it on long enough for you to get a picture! My cats still think that something-through-the-banisters (or on the banisters for that matter) is prey, even if it looks like a largely inedible foot or hand..

Great hat... especially on Reggie!

Best model ever!

He doesn't half look cross!

ha ha! This really made me smile. I was expecting to see a less than happy child, or husband or the like!
