Lace Knitting and other things

By popular demand,* photos of the output of my lace knitting class:

No, the hat's not lace. But it is all part of a baby gift for my Yoga teacher and friend Sharon, who is expecting her third, a girl who is apparently practicing some major asana already. Another view of cute hat (from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, and yes, I'm still working on the i-cord to lace through the eyelet holes):

The lace bits are samples knit for the class and also shall serve as little cotton facecloths for the infant yogini. Little facecloths shall be rolled up and deposited in little cotton (August baby in DC) hat, along with some lavender (or chamomile or some such) baby soap. Voila. Baby gift.

Also, I don't have to go to the shower. Sharon sussed (correctly) that I don't enjoy, but endure, this particular feminine ritual and pre-emptively told me, "I think you probably hate these things, and if you get an invite, I would love to have you there, but totally understand if you don't want to come. I think it's going to be pretty 'tee hee.'" Ahh.

Also "Ahh." I have a new camera. The cats have never looked better.
