I have cranked up the “ohnoshedi’int!” factor on the boobie hats with one simple addition: a nipple ring.
Check it out:
I’ve put pretty comprehensive directions for this version of the boobie hat on this FO’s page, filed under 2012 Finished Objects. (Look in the sidebar for the link. It’s labeled “Pierced boobie hat 1.”)
Here’s another view:
Here’s a shot of the crown, which is presumably the part that an observer sitting across the food court from the oh-s0-cool-and-hip mom while she nurses the darlin’ baby who is wearing this hat:
The hubs had a package of three metal rings (found several years ago in the notions section of the sewing department at the Evil Empire) and he kindly donated them to the cause. Or just to me, possibly to shut me up or avoid a trip to the store in the middle of the night in support of my knitting obsession hobby and quirky sense of humor.
Here’s a closeup of the nipplage:
This is my favorite of the boobie hats so far. I’ve run out of the tan microfiber yarn, and I believe it’s been discontinued, so look for a new yarn to appear in boobie-hat form soonish.
For now, I’m going to take advantage of the wonderful thunderstorms and rain that are gracing my part of north central Florida this morning and afternoon. That is, I’m going to bed. It’s perfect sleeping weather.
Hope your Tuesday is everything you could ask for, kittens. Ciao!
Sassy!
I love sleeping when it’s raining. Pleasant dreams
Very cute, who’d have thunk it?
You crack me up! What a great addition to the boobie hat.
Thanks, ladies! I think they’re pretty darned cute!
