Now, there's one thing that breaks my heart.
You know, so many people are so generous with their time that they knit so many hats.
And before the hat, please come for me.
Yes, we do use them.
They are all clean.
And, you know, if you don't like it, you've probably never dealt with a cold baby.
So, but I've got one problem with these.
It's the fact that there are so many that we can't use.
So, let's take these three.
Right.
How can I give you any sort of perspective?
I'm not going to put it on my hat.
I'm not going to put it on my head.
But that's... we're probably not going to have a newborn that's going to fit in that.
Nor that.
And look how gorgeous they are.
It's adorable.
But we've got so many that we can't use.
And I feel really, really tight.
Because we do really appreciate them.
That's another massive one.
So, they all, like... they don't go on the wristlessly tears.
Because we think they're probably going to be a little bit too big.
So, we've got those ones.
And on the other hand, one of the other problems that we have is...
Isn't that gorgeous?
Look at the work that's gone into that.
That's why it breaks my heart.
Because it's absolutely adorable.
But that's like...
It's like... I don't... I don't know about knitting.
I can't knit.
But when the tension around here is really, really tight.
If it's a little hat and you put it on a baby's head, sometimes it's too tight for them around there.
So, I'm telling you this.
If you know anyone who knicks hats, ask.
That might fit some babies.
That might be alright.
But that's a little hat.
And then we've got this one.
Now, this hat is absolutely gorgeous.
But it's probably not deep enough.
So, that's...
Does that make sense?
Am I making sense?
That's not deep enough.
That's deep enough.
But it's...
I don't know which baby...
Maybe the neonatal unit, but that...
That's tight around the bottom there.
Look at that.
So, this is the range of hat sizes we get.
All for newborn babies.
These ones...
That is absolutely gorgeous.
Look at that!
Look at that!
Look at the work that's gone into that.
How do they get it so that it, like...
Gradients it?
Can you see that?
It's like lilac-y to pinky with a beautiful thing on it.
And again...
Tight round there.
Possibly...
Probably too small for most of our babies.
That one is as well.
That one's another one that's probably not deep enough.
Because you know when babies are born, sometimes they have a bit of a...
Because their skull is soft and it moulds.
Sometimes you get...
Funny shaped heads.
You get what people call cone heads.
And it goes down.
It's perfectly normal.
So, I wanted to show you one that's probably a good style to make.
So, I like the ones that are quite deep.
If they've got a thingy like that.
It's a little bit tight round there.
But we can try and stretch it.
Do you see what I mean?
Like a bit of length to it.
So that you can put...
You can go...
Roll it up.
And you can fit it round the baby's head.
So, that probably is our...
The best one.
The few and far between.
Because there's so many.
Either ginormous or really, really teeny tiny.
Like...
Let me show you that.
This one.
So, that...
I would say that size.
Or...
I'm saying that size.
You can't see...
What can I compare it to?
What can I compare it to?
Wait there.
I found a cup.
So...
As an example.
Like...
Your cup.
It should be able to easily go with a little bit of stretch.
On a cup.
So, if you imagine that didn't have a handle.
That's...
I like that.
And then there's plenty of head.
And you can still turn it up.
Am I making sense?
And am I stupid that I look at these and think...
We're so grateful.
We're so grateful.
But it's such a shame.
Is there anybody...
Who knows of...
Or who can give...
Us a pattern.
That we could give out.
That...
Because I hate thinking of people.
Like...
Spending all their precious time.
And being so kind to give us them.
And then...
I'm waffling off now.
I'm waffling off.
I'm waffling off.
It's the end of shift.
See you later.
Bye.
