Guess and win!

Yes, yes, I've been AWOL. Hopefully this will make you judge me less harshly!

We've set the date for our ultrasound for February 5th, 2 weeks from today. At this ultrasound, we will hopefully see a healthy baby, and find out the sex.

So place your guesses here! Am I having a boy or a girl? Will I need to knit the viking hat with braids or without? (And believe me, I'll be knitting one of them!)

PLEASE GUESS BY FEBRUARY 4TH!

I will choose a random winner from amongst those who guessed correctly. Winner will be announced on the 6th (hopefully), and will receive a $20 Amazon.com gift card (new knitting books, anyone?).

In the case that the baby's shy, I'll just pick a random winner from amongst everyone who enters with a guess!

Important EDIT: Please, please, please leave me some sort of way of contacting you. A blog where I can comment, an email, a Ravelry ID, something. I won't spend valuable knitting time tracking you down, sorry!

  2. Hmm, let's see now. 2008 saw 4 baby girls born to moms where I work. Therefore I think 2009 will be the year for boys. Blue viking hats without braids then. Good luck with the ultrasound!

  3. I'm guessing a boy! Either way is great, though, isn't it? Best of luck.

  7. My 7 yo says Boy! :D I trust his opinion as he correctly guessed we were having twins (and their sexes) before the docs knew.

    Either way, it's fabulous! :D

  8. I'm going to go with girl. Last year seemed to be an even split so who knows, but I like the idea of a girlie viking.

  10. I'm hoping for a girl for you, but I feel like it will be a boy. I don't know why, but it's a feeling.

  20. Hopefully you'll get a good view of everything and all will be perfect and healthy. Then hopefully you'll get a good look at the family jewels, and if I'm right they'll be masculine jewels. ;) No braids, is my guess.

  23. Many people seem boy-crazy, so I will say "girl". I knitted your Double Layer Cabled hat early in 08 and it's still a favorite knit. I hadn't realized you moved to Cleveland and wanted to let you know there's a very nice yarn store in Avon, French Creek Fibers - worth the drive! I'm knitonepurltoo on Ravelry.

    Im guessing a girl, but I think you should make the braids either way - maybe some manly sort of viking-guy braids for a boy?

  25. A girl! It seems like out Rav thread has more girls than boys.

  26. OMG Those caps are soooo cute. The little baby with the braids looks just like a gnome--like from Piet huygens book.

    I vote girl - braids.

    Stay well!!

  31. I think I will have to guess braids-- so fun. I will be having a little boy on Feb. 11th-- love those babes!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'll go with girl since I have two of my own.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm guessing a girl! I think that if you have a boy you should do a long braid down the back though :) My Rav id is, jenknitsalot. Have a blast at your ultrasound!

    ReplyDelete
  34. more girls are born each year than boys, so that gives a better than 50% chance of it being a girl. So with the odds, I say braids are a go.
