RAIDER NATION (+1 Member)

When Shawn and I got married, we knowingly and willingly joined each other's "teams." He was raised loving the Expos, UCLA and the Raiders. I was raised loving the University of Michigan... and not many other teams. OK, maybe the Dolphins... maybe.
Now these teams may not have the best running stats (especially this year and recent years) but we are no fair-weathered fans here.
The baby will be raised the same way, wearing all the gear we can find. Auntie Heather (Shawn's sis) has even helped with this by buying the baby UCLA and U of M onesies for Christmas. So when the versatility of my sloper pattern for a baby hoodie became apparent to me last week, I got busy with some licensed Raider's fleece.
It turned out so well and it is so thick from the lining that it's like its own jacket. I could toss this on the baby with a onesie and some black pants and need nothing else but a hat or headband for baby to be game-ready. Instead of crocheting each piece for the hoodie, I simply measured and cut fabric, assembled it the same way and voila, no crochet was used in the making of this hoodie. Pattern still WORKS.
I am nowhere near done making these... this is only going to get worse. ;o)

Ok, so I am not a sports fan at all, but I still think that is absolutely adorable. So good job! Winning over a non-sports fan.
