Old hat

I'm learning to post from home...so thought I'd try posting a photo of
one of the hats I made for the church bazar. It is actually a
baseball cap. I made it from a pattern in a pamphlet called "Crochet Hip
Hats" by Mary Estok Nolfi. I have no clue at this point what yarn I
used...I know it is double strand, two different yarns, and they both
have some wool in them. The brim is crocheted first on top, then the
yarn is hooked again to the underside and another brim is crocheted,
then sewn together. Very sturdy! Well...hope this posting works!

Rose Colored Booties for Baby!

Hi there!
So here are the new booties.  They're from a pattern on the web site for Garn Studio (See link below).  The patterns are free, and awesome.  I changed the flower by adding another smaller flower in the middle giving it more petals, which I believe makes it delicate.  

I added a Beatrice Potter button on the back.  The theme is right, but I'm not so sure the button helps any.  The Alpaca photographs a bit "hairy" so I had a hard time finding a good shot.  These will be for the new baby coming in May, and I'll be making a hat or sweater to match sometime before then.

I'm in the midst of making myself a winter hat (I have a hard time making myself anything) so that may be the next post - or something.  We have had snow on the ground since before Christmas, so I think it is about time that I had something warm for my head. 

Until whenever, happy crocheting!

The Dress!

So, here is the matching dress to the pale yellow hat and I think they make a great pair.

I found some toddler's shoes on line that are the same yellow, with a pink flower, some cream accents.  I may change the ribbon on the hat, add a flower or two on the dress...and WOW!  A matching set!

I could buy various ribbons and make matching flowers that can be changed so the dress will change looks for different occasions.   Another idea is to buy tights to match the accessories.
