I am so TORN about this pattern. It’s adorable and clever and yet
@aldersprig Do you have a wee one to wear it? It looks a bit like a cookie elf.
@OldandConfused I’m working on knitty bits for my friend Cap’s upcoming baby. Whose gender will be Farm.
@aldersprig I only understood part of those words...
@OldandConfused My friend, name Cap, is having a baby. I’m knitting things for the baby. She’s not finding out the gender so we’ve declared gender is Farm. John Deere Green, New Holland Blue...
@aldersprig Ah... I think. We did get the gender early, but it was mostly irrelevant.
Actually, I'm lying. I don't like boys. I'm totally happy they were both girls.
@OldandConfused I have no kids. Get-the-gender-of-kid-or-not is pretty much a non-thing for me.
@aldersprig Kids are pretty awesome, tbh. But only if you want them and are prepared for the huge shift in values and perspective.
@OldandConfused Let’s just agree to not talk about me and kids until you know me better, okay?
@OldandConfused I mean no disrespect, just… it’s a sore subject.
So: how’s the weather there?
@aldersprig cute hat, but imo cis parents need to stop, lol.
@comradesputnik The whole “gender reveal party” thing is a bit creepy, I’ll admit.
@aldersprig the creepiest thing they do is have a blue or pink cake, but you have to cut through the frosting to find out which. It's downright fruedian, if you ask me, and I'll have no part.
@aldersprig ooooh, wow. They could have done a cute double knit baby hat WAY better than all that garbage in the beginning. Reads like a lionbrad ad written by some conservative flatlander copywriter - YUCK!
