Dear friend and fellow fashionista Brooke did not want to find out the gender of her baby prior to birth, and also did not want to have any gifts before the baby was born. She told me they only purchased a crib and a car seat (and I actually think both of those were passed down). So I set the needles aside and waited patiently while twiddling my fingers… give me a baby to knit for! Shane Richard joined the world on Saturday, and I knitted through the Sochi Skating Gala to produce a little Hawken head topper. Either way, when this baby stops by our school, it will have a way to show his spirit. To Shane!
