Get the Yarn!

So I took a break from school until further notice on account of the new baby, and the move back to Utah. Needless to say that has resulted in my having more time on my hands, which I LOVE! That along with the insomnia that I have right now has made it necessary to find ways to keep my hands as well as my mind busy! So of course I decided that a good project would be to make some new little hats for the new little baby! I got out my patterns, my hooks, and headed to Joanns for the rest of the needed supplies. I've been quite the little crocheter these last couple of weeks, and I have to admit that it has kept me very busy and content. The first hat below I crocheted for the new baby, it's Super soft, and very silky, but due to my being a little rusty with the needle I made it slightly big for a newborn. No need to worry though I'm pretty sure it will be perfect for winter! The second hat is one that I made for one of my girlfriends at church. She is due in July and is not finding out what she is having so I made the hat for her in a more "neutral" color but just in case it turns out to a be a girl I crochet a little flower which I hot glued to a little clippy that she can attach to the hat. If it does turn out to be a boy, the flower is removable and she can use it for her other little girl. To be honest I made the second one for my friend and it turned out SO cute that I almost kept it for myself...I managed to pry it away from myself though. Chris told me just to make another one for myself...I'm thinking I will since I'll need to save some projects for the long drive out to Utah. I timed myself on these hats and believe it or not I can do the whole thing with the flower in under 2 hours...NICE! The only thing is that it's turned into a longer list of projects (which I of course LOVE) because the other 3 kiddos all wanted hats made for them too. I've finished one for Lilliana which I will post soon!
