'nother Hat

I made this hat to replace another one. One recent Sunday, I wore a white hat and scarf that I'd crocheted (of course) to worship. One of the ladies liked the hat, so I took it off and gave it to her. I had a little bit of yarn left, so made this, just making it up as I went (and doing some "frogging") to use up the yarn. It was all I had left in that particular brand. It's a little bit big, but could always put a piece of elastic or a ribbon in it to snug it up. It's for sale of course. I think it turned out so well that I'm going to made more like it! What'dya think? (Update, 2017 ... I think I know where it is!)

Hat and Cowl

I made these a few days ago.
I used Lion brand's new "Tweed Stripes" yarn which feels similar to their "Home- spun" yarn. Both the hat and cowl are nothing more than tubes, with the hat of course closed at one end. You can pull the cowl up like a bala- clava. I wore them to worship this morning and they were plenty warm outside, and al- most too warm in the church house! If you want me to make one or both for you, let me know and we'll work out a deal ... or you can buy this set for $20 plus shipping (worn only one time). My nephew took these pictures this afternoon.

Be sure to look at the tiny silver dragonflies I am wearing that show in the picture on the top. Click on the picture so you can see it better. Those are not earrings. They are charms! - or maybe I should say they are "cherished charms". They go on hearing aids and are from Hayleigh Scott and her sisters. Hayleigh and her twin Vienna are 11 years old now. Hayleigh has been wearing hearing aids since she was 18 months old. You can see more, and buy some, from www.hayleighscherishedcharms.com

A Fancy Crocheted Hat!

This is some- what tedious because so much is post stitches. It feels as if it is doubled, but that's because of the post stitches. This also makes it feel real thick. I used a 100% synthetic yarn. The pattern is by Lisa Naskrent and is from her web site (www.crochetgarden.com). This was a gift for a lady who was in prison but on work release. The prisoners could wear only white.
