Short and sweet, not me my fans but newborn babies. Babies are sweet and cute and adorable, and frustrating to knit for. You can make a 0-3m sweater and have the new baby come out at 9lbs. Or knit a complicated victorian lace cap that cannot fit the cone-headed munchkin that's supposed to have worn it.
Buuuut, what if you are knitting for the baby because it's family but the father hates you. This coming blessing is a boy and his father has tried to get our family kicked out of our extended family because of religious differences. He still won't speak to us 2yrs. later. His wife is alright(she's James' sis) and since the baby will be my nephew he will be knitted for just like anyone else's baby.
So, is it o.k. to knit a complicated, beautiful cabled baby pullover to......impress and guilt trip dad for being such a jerk ?
I have forgiven him but he's still a jerk. I'm not mad at him anymore, just acknowledging facts.

Heh. If you feel like knitting it, go ahead and heap coals a-fire on their heads. If you don't, I'll promise to knit the kid a soft little cotton hat. They just got shipments of the most amazing DK organic cotton at the LYS, and it would be a killer hat.
