Another hat

 

I didn't intend to crochet another hat, but I wanted to see if using the same pattern and going up one hook size would make a hat that fit me well. 

Success! This hat fits me perfectly. Now I need to find the perfect pom pom to give it a feminine touch. 

Next up... finish the bookmark I started tatting the other day!

Hat time

 

After finishing my Clematis1 doily, I went back to working on an afghan I started last spring. It's a stitch sampler afghan, and the stitch I chose to use was too tight. So, I ripped out the section I had finished and decided to work on something different.

It's been a while since I've crocheted a hat. I thought that I might get on a roll making hats, but I don't feel inspired to keep going. So, I'm moving on to a new project!

Done!

 

I finally finished with my hat requests! This one is for Blake.

Skyler requested purple.

Owen requested aubergine.

Abby requested aubergine. Now I have to figure out what to do with all the leftover yarn!

Friday fun

 

Another ornament is hanging on my tree! I truly am enjoying making these little button ornaments.

I finished a hat for Leticia last night. It's a little big on her, but she liked it so much she decided to keep it.

After finishing Leticia's hat, I started one for Jaden. I was able to finish his hat before leaving for school today. Unfortunately, it was too big on him. I'll start on a new one this weekend.

Leticia's brother Roosevelt tried the hat on, and he was very pleased that it fit. 

I sure am having fun!

A hat for Cap

 

As planned, I finished the same hat in two different sizes. They don't look very different, but one is definitely smaller. That is the hat that Rigo chose.

Our art teacher goes by the nickname Cap. She really liked the extra hat, and it fit her. So, I brought it home and attached a pom pom. I'll give it to her tomorrow.

My button ornaments are making me very happy. I love the colorful centers, and I think the white tatting will look beautiful on next year's Christmas tree!

Double button day

 

Today was a good day for tatting!

I had time to tat two button ornaments!

I also finished Rigo's hat. It's been a good day!

Successful Saturday

Another ornament is finished! I can't believe that I really like the pink center. Pink is obviously growing on me.

I started a new hat for Rigo today. I think I might make two different sizes. I know that extra hats won't go to waste!

Jon, Carol, Dave, and I took Mom out to lunch to celebrate her birthday today. The food was delicious and we were all stuffed. When we got home, I was in the mood to knit. I was able to finish a 12 row pattern repeat today. I'm feeling pretty good about today!
