![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!

A couple of weeks ago, my childhood best friend had a beautiful baby boy.
Now, I’ve been busy working on the book projects after the finger cutting debacle on July 4th, so I haven’t had as much time to work on baby stuff as I’d like…and by now, you know that I’m a little high strung. So, as I was planning to meet my dear friend’s baby last Saturday and I hadn’t knit anything, my stress level was rising. I ask you, HOW was I going to show up to welcome my oldest friend’s new baby without any knitted love?
Answer: I wasn’t. So, Friday night after work, I cast on a baby hat…and then I stayed up til 1:42am to make sure it was close enough to done that I could finish it Saturday before leaving town.
So, sweet Baby C got a pretty knit hat to celebrate his safe arrival. The yarn is Mirasol Yarn – Hacho and the pattern is Easy Peasy Newborn Sock Hat by Keri McKiernan
I am grateful to his parents for opening their home to me and letting me snuggle their cute baby for hours. 
He is precious and I love him bunches!!!
Ps. Check out more finished objects at Tami’s Amis.

Lovely hat and gorgeous model! Good job.

A baby IN baby knits!?! A rare treat, indeed! He looks very cozy cuddled up in his new hat!
The hat was a smidge too big, but better too big than too small, I always say! : )
