The pattern is Grandma's Knitted Slippers by Zanne on Ravelry.
I did make something for myself-the Sideways Grand Cloche by Laura Irwin. Her book Boutique Knits has so many fabulous patterns for accessories that I can't wait to make (and I'm sure I'll have to make them in duplicate, so Allison can have one of each too.) Here's the hat:
I already made a gray one for Allison, but forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to her!
In food related news, I have been stuffing my face with some veggie lasagna, brownies, and apple bread. Earlier in my pregnancy, I felt that I was eating for one and a half, but now it really feels like it's for two. Here's the sweet apple bread:
It's spiced with cinnamon and has big chunks of apple. Win-win. Win. Because I get to eat it all.
Last night, I finished this sweet little Baby Aviatior Cap. I don't have a baby to model it yet, but maybe you can imagine what it might look like on a baby based on the picture that goes with the pattern.
Pretty adorable, right? We went on a tour of the maternity ward of the hospital on Thursday night with some other couples who are expecting. The funniest part was at the end, when the nurse giving the tour was so disappointed that she couldn't show us a real baby. The windows to the nursery are covered to protect the babies' privacy, and she needed the parents' permission to show us a newborn. The only one available at the time belonged to a mom who only spoke Spanish, and since no one there spoke Spanish, we were out of luck. I don't think anyone on the tour minded that we didn't get to see a real baby, because I'm sure we've all seen babies before, and will be seeing our own babies soon enough!
