Crocheting...



Ok after about three days of teaching myself how to follow directions and read a pattern I finally got going on the hats!! The one above modeled by my guy was the first. The pattern called for ear flaps but I didn't like them so I left them out. This might fit better on a smaller child but he did look awfully cute!
The second one my daughter is wear is from the same yarn but this time I left out one of the whole sections out and then added another two sections to make it a little bigger.
I am still deciding on where I am going to take all of the hats when I am done...Two choices are going through my head. Either a hospital or the rescue mission down town. We will see I have a whole lot of hats to go. I was also trying to figure out what I could do to keep this all going and I think I found my answer...I had also gotten some of that yarn that people make washcloths and potholders with...I am thinking if I make those and sell them then the money I make from those can go back into the materials for making the hats.
I am really excited about all of this and even though my hands hurt and my back is killing me once again, the sciatic nerve, ugh. I am glad I have started this adventure and I am hoping and praying that when people receive these hats that they will be truely blessed and have a better day.

Well off to eat some mint chocolates and croch some more. I am now doing a multi color called 234 pines...it is a wool ease worsted weight and is very soft to the touch. : )
