My cousin recently had a new baby boy. I wanted to make him a little gift to welcome him to the world. He is adorable...and did I mention he is a boy? This was a bit of an issue because I am not used to boys. I have three precious girls but no boys. I just don't know blue at all. After some thorough investigating (an enjoyable trip to the yarn store I heart), I settled on some scrumptious and impossibly soft blue yarn (Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, which I also happen to heart). And I made a sweet, soft blue hat. It was cute enough once I knit it up, but I thought it needed a little something else. I attempted some appliques (a fish, an owl, and a star) and was not happy with them. My oh-so-honest husband said one looked like a blob, another looked like a blob and the last looked like a snowflake. Boo! Then it struck me - a lacrosse stick. My cousin loves the sport. Go figure, I was not able to find a pattern for a knit lacrosse stick. But did that stop me? Oh no! I designed one and, although it was a bit of work, I am so happy with how it turned out.
