I am on a Roll

I got a request for a "rasta" hat by one of my co-workers. So I used the same pattern I used for the gray beret except I used a much larger hook and added just a few chains to the initial chain strand. I wasn't sure if it would be exactly the style she had in mind, but I think it has the look she wanted.
I LOVE CROCHET!!!!!!! This craft is so great, learn a few stitches and recreate patterns in all sorts if ways!!!! Ooohhh the possibilities! Up next, a slouchy purse/bag for my friend Kate! I haven't found a pattern I like, yet, so I will be making this one by combining a few projects. Can't wait to get started!!

Panda Hat

I received a special request from my coworker Anthony, while I was working on the gray beret (that ended up belonging to Mateo) that instantly caught my attention. He said, "oooh, I want a Panda hat," and I said, "OK!" As soon as I finished making that beret, as well as finished the one that actually fit me, I got to work! It surprisingly didn't take me very long, considering I can only afford to make stuff for a short while during the week. A short three days later, I turned it in to him and he was so exited, so was I! Hooray for projects!!

Craft, Create, Crochet!

It's kinda funny, but, I started a beret crochet pattern the other day, and as I worked it, I felt like something wasn't quite right. Finally, a couple days later when I finished, I realized I really messed it up somehow.
BUT, to my sons advantage it was just the right size for his little head!!!! So I told him, "Mateo! I made you a new hat!". He was so exited he took it right from my hands and put it on in a second. He loves hats, and he definitely loved this one.
