Fun Fur is a misnomer

norsegirlI knitted my first item using "Fun Fur" complete misnomer there as it is neither fur nor fun. Especially as I was working with black. It was impossible to see what I was doing, so there are at least a few mistakes in my knitting there. Fortunately if you can't see what you're doing, you also can't see mistakes in the final product. Making a pom pom out of it was also a bitch as it shed profusely for about an hour of me shaking and pulling at it, and tiny amounts for the rest of the evening. The final product was all worth it though as I had a lovely holiday hat for Georgia to wear to the party which she got lots of compliments on.
I took a bunch of other pics, but really, that is the best one so I'm going to be kind to everyone's bandwidth and if you're really interested feel free to cruise over to facebook or photobucket.
Yes, in the end we did decide to attend the party. While not being a kid-centered event, it also is never the kind of drunken revelry where people would feel awkward letting their hair down because of a child in the room. We ate dinner and stayed right until the end of the party. Georgia was popular, happy and well-received, so I think it was the right decision. She spent dinner in a car-seat between us on the floor and the rest of the evening strapped to me in a Moby, facing outward so she could see all the action. People were surprised that she was handling all the sensory overload of a party okay, I guess she's a bit of an extrovert like her mum. We won't bring her next year though as that would be inappropriate. Not sure if I'll attend or if we'll send Jason on his own. We'll cross that decision-bridge when we come to it.
