Somebody had a baby and it wasn’t us. The lucky recipient of the stork’s efforts works with Caroline and to celebrate James’ new son and his entry into this life Caroline felt a brand new pair of hand-crocheted Converse Chucks was a fitting gift. James loved the shoes commenting he’d now have to hunt down a baby-size Ramones T-shirt to round out a perfect ensemble. A couple of years ago Caroline knitted a purple and white baby sweater with an OM on the front for a Hindu friend who had just had a daughter. Too bad we don’t know any strippers, my wife could knit up some pasties and a latex mini skirt. She’s threatened that as I grow older she’ll be knitting me woolen Depends adult diapers – the joy I have to look forward to.
