There is a gorgeous hat and blanket pattern set in the Happy Hooker book. They are actually next in my line of projects to do. I am going to make them for my newborn niece for Christmas. I think the pattern is sized for 6 months.

I'm assuming you were talking to me :P Yup, I have 6 kids under 9 and I have my hands full but I make the time to crochet since I enjoy it so much. I normally crochet about 2-3 hours every night after I get the twins to sleep...yes, I am normally up until 2-3 in the morning too :hook
