first hat

this is the first hat i ever made. it took me a good 2 months. i nearly gave up on crochet all together it was so difficult. so much counting of stitches and keeping track of everything. i eventually (i think almost a year later) divised my own method to remove counting thusly beginning a flurry of wool & hooks and eventually leading to this website.

Protect your head

only i (and now you) know the truth...



the clown scares me. a lot.

New Hat, New Pattern

i created this new pattern once i learned this modified double crochet. it all went well, but the back clearly shows where each round joins up. gotta work on that, but i REALLY like the style here. happy.

Double Dutch/Double Fisting

lovely dutch model sophie van der horst is double fisting while showing my first attempt at a double layered hat. i tried to double up the warmth of this thing by crocheting a normal hat then using the loops on the inside to create a 2nd layer on the inside. it worked okay...i guess...as a stand alone hat it is cool, but i didn't really get the effect i was looking for...whatever...
