Spooky hats? My ex knitted a winter hat for our firstborn grandson
(age 5.5 now) back when he was about a year or two old. It had teddy
bear (or ferret) ears knitted onto the top. As soon as I saw that hat,
I told my daughter, "Please don't embarrass your son and put that hat
him out in public" She laughed. I was serious though. heheh

BTW, my ex started learning to knit when we were married. First kid
sweaters were just T-shape...very basic and lame. Within a few years,
she learned it all and was knitting custom sweaters for rich clients.
Just the exotic yarns would sometimes cost over $300 (and this was 30
years ago). She also designed her own patterns and combo of yarns. She
became "top gun" of the custom knitting crowd back then. I was very
proud of her.
