Ok...ok. I am addicted to crocheting again. I stopped Syd's blanket yesterday (which is not a good thing) to try and crochet a hat. I attempted one in Portland with no success. So I found a video to teach it, and it worked. I made a green hat last night. Then I wanted to try something else, so I attempted a small flower, which also turned out last night. I am going to put a clip on the back of it so I can clip it to any hat or headband I have for Syd. This morning I still was not done (just getting started), I wanted to try a different type of flower that was bigger. I found another video about how to make a layered flower with 8 petals. I tried...and succeeded!! The bigger flower is a little big for the hat, but I might put it on a headband. Here are the picks of what I have been working on. I really want to try and make another cute hat that I saw in Portland, but I need other colors and I should be working on Syd's blanket. We'll see what I end up doing! It's a lot of fun to be crocheting while I can because it was my grandma who taught me how to do it when I was 6 or 7 years old. I am glad it stuck. Hopefully I can teach Syd!
***Update: The other hat that I wanted to try and make was a ladybug hat. I used thicker yarn thinking it would go faster, but it didn't. It actually made it harder because the stitches where stiffer. It turned out very cute, antennas and all, but it wont fit her until she is a little older. With the thicker yarn it didn't size right. Oh well. It is done. Now onto finishing Syd's blanket. Maybe that is why she has not come yet, she is waiting for me to finish it so she will have it all for herself. (Pics below)
