Why is it that when we, as knitters, crocheters, and crafters in general are compelled to make anything and everything we deem as "Too Cute for Words" when even the mere MENTION of a baby enters our minds? I, myself at times, find myself victim of this at times when I search for patterns to make my nearly 2 year-old boy. As a matter of fact, the worse offenders of this ARE the patterns I find for little boys!! Check some of this out..
And let me tell you, it took me about 15 minutes to even FIND anything for a baby or toddler boy! Just imagine how much longer it would take me to find anything CUTE! I'm starting to wonder if there is some parental code that we must make these things for our children because we secretly want to blackmail our kids as teenagers and young adults. Or as Aunts,Uncles, and Grandparents, we are testing our children's love for us by seeing if they actually make their babies wear such aweful garments "just for us" then throw in the back of the closet. You know that "Boogey Man" our children fear? That's what he's made of. Hand-made sweaters from Grandma Shirley.
Now, don't think that girls are off the hook? Just because Lil' Girl patterns are easier to find, actually means they get it worse! Here are some loverly examples of their pain...
But in the end, let us remember the children in our lives we abuse the most in this way...
Our Fur Babies.......(or feather babies as in one particular case)
