My first hat!



This is the first hat I've ever tried to crochet (modeled by Rock N' Rose)! OK, I don't really follow patterns or even really like patterns....so I looked at a pattern for a completely different hat and then made this one up. I'm not sure what it is...a beret? I don't know. There are some imperfections, so don't study it too hard. LOL I'm working on another one and this time I'm going to write it down as I go along so I can keep better track of what the heck I'm doing.

WOW!







It's been so long since I tried logging into my blog that I had no idea what email address I was supposed to enter. Yikes! That's terrible. That's beyond slacking, that's just plain LAZY. So, I've decided to get my butt in gear this summer and post. I have lotsof projects finished and I bought myself a great camera that takes gorgeous pictures....basically, I have no more excuses.

OK, first on the agenda....because of summer schedules, my crochet group is now meeting on Thursday nights and my friend Donna's house instead of Wednesday mornings. This works out very nicely. Second, our group project is a blanket. I'm having trouble with the blanket because it requires a small hook and I'm not very fond of small hooks. I'm working on it, though. Here's a picture of me at crochet group. I'm looking smiley because I'm loving what I'm doing!


These are my latest Tunisian projects. Both are pullover neck warmers. The second one is made from the sparkly yarn that I posted about back in February or March. The first picture is my first attempt at using 2 strands of yarn at the same time. Since finishing these, I'm more focused on regular crochet but I haven't abandoned Tunisian completely, I'm just taking a break from it for now.
Obviously, I still do not have the hang of uploading photos! LOL
Now I'm going to browse around some other blogs here since I haven't in such a long time. I plan on coming back daily to add more, maybe not always photos but to at least post something.
