My Favorite Hat to Make

I love to make projects that don't take a lot of time.  I get bored with huge, repetitive projects.  One of my favorite things to make are hats.  Here is a picture of my favorite kind.

I started with the daisy from Krochet Krystal and then continued into just a normal beanie shape with a little scallop along the bottom.

Understanding Patterns

There are so many terms, abbreviations, symbols, etc to learn and remember, so here is a great site to help you Understand Patterns!

Sign Up

I'm so excited! I sent around a sign-up and asked on Facebook, etc and I have about 25 people interested in joining the crochet group!! We are going to start on July 5th at 6:30 pm. I hope to see YOU there!

Little Brown Hat

I wasn't going to start posting here, yet. I was just saving my name, but here I am. I just had to share this little hat with you:

I have been working on it for a little while but I haven't been able to find a pattern I liked or could get to work, so I made up my own. I love the way it turned out and so I had to take pictures and share it with all of you (ie, no one) who are reading this blog that I just started yesterday!

Start

Since I'm working on starting a yarn group, I thought I'd grab this name for a blog to keep track of things we do.

See you soon!!
