A Womb With a View

A couple of weeks ago, I visited some friends in Reading, PA for a weekend. I had worked with Karen and her son Adam in Maine at the Medomak Family Camp. After finding out that Karen recently had some unpleasant surgery, I was reminded of a pattern that a fellow Stitch 'n Bitcher had knit when I was in school at Farmington--a pattern for a womb. Turns out it's a free Knitty pattern. So I decided I would knit a new, happy womb for this woman who had been a mom-like figure to most of the counselors on staff at camp. There was a little skepticism amongst my housemates as to how this gift would be received; however, Karen loved it. See pictures below.

Just chillin' in the clover.


Aren't anthropomorphized wombs the cutest?


This womb has the good life.
