I am still not over my slouchy hat addiction:
And I decided I just had to make one in red:
For a while I have been trying to make socks. I finally found a book of patterns that I can wrap my brain around. Now that I can make them, I need a bunch. No more cheap socks that wear out quick!
Years ago I found out about Judith Copeland's Modular Crochet book. It shows you how to crochet sweaters in panels and using your own body to measure. Long out of print, copies of this book sell for $40 in bad condition to $250 in mint condition. I have been watching this book for a long time and scored one on eBay in good condition for $20. There are some pencil marks but other than that...wonderful! I can't wait to play around with this.
I felt like daffy duck yelling mine, mine, mine. It's the little things in life...
I was in the kitchen collection with my husband the other day and he did try to keep me away from the cast iron section. I was told I did not need another cast iron dutch oven. I did not come home with one but I did check out a new crock pot. He didn't say I didn't need a new one of those, just asked where I would put it. I came home with a hand masher.

Wow I love the red beanie talk about a fashion statement. The soft green one is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I think I will be known around the neighborhood as the crazy hat lady!
ReplyDeleteHi, Love your hats! What is the sock book? Maybe it could help me. : ) Angela
ReplyDeleteIt's called More Crochet Socks. They had one in there called simple simon but it wasn't so simple for me lol. I'm working on a second pair with the same pattern but it is slow. My hands aren't liking the smaller hooks.
