Still researching what makes a baby sweater suitable for a boy baby. Babies of either gender are sweet and cute. Do we treat boy babies differently from girl babies? I've never seen even the most rugged of men, slug a baby on the shoulder, and ask, "How's it goin', buddy?". However, there does seem to be some unwritten rule about how boy babies ought to reflect their 'boy-ness' in their dress.
Blue is the quintessential colour for boys, right? Turquoise is a member of the blue family, specifically blue-green. Therefore, this is a boy colour, right? Let's push the envelope and add an appliqué patch for decoration. Are cats OK? Lions are pretty man-ly. Is this happy cat face OK?
I'm still not sure I have a handle on all this. What I do know is that it's fun to knit these little sweaters. I've donated this one to the online auction that the Lyndhurst Feral Cat Project is running right now on Facebook. Proceeds from the auction are going to the Gananoque & District Humane Society who help us so much with our cats. In fact, without the G&DHS, we wouldn't be able to do what we do.
If you're in need of a baby sweater for a boy, size 6 to 9 months, made of washable wool/nylon (or over a 100 other items on offer), please check out the auction page. https://www.facebook.com/LFCPAuction2017 Bidding ends Sunday night, March 5, at 9 pm sharp.
My son would have no problem dressing his son in that sweater. Of course, both of them are comfortable in their masculinity. Turquoise is one of my favourite baby boy colours. Cats are a bonus.
ReplyDeleteThe cat and whiskers is a perfect finish and it will surely be snapped up so fast at the auction.
