My New Hat

This is something I started last winter and wasn't really pleased with. I basically made the whole thing three times to tweak the shape, and I am relatively pleased with it now. The bill was another thing I had to do a few times to get to work out, but I think I have found a pattern that works. I may add a few details later, but here it is for now:





It's nice to have something done just in time for the proper season. I usually start things when I want them and finish them when they're just going out of season (see bow ties).

Hats

I recently finished crocheting the hat that Erin is wearing. It was something I didn't finish last year before spring came, but I got it done this year. I made it several times over, because I wasn't using a pattern. Every so often I would pull out a dozen rows and begin again to get the shape just right. The hat I'm wearing is one I made for myself from an old blazer last winter. I've started another one, but probably wont' finish that one before spring this year.
