Wordless Wednesday: Peek!

Learning to Crochet

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine decided to learn to crochet.  It made perfect sense.  She spent countless hours online looking at little baby booties, hats, headbands, etc.  I thought it was a great idea, but she was braver than I was.  If anything, I would know someone who could make some custom hats for me (maybe?).

However, the night she started I was reading her facebook status and comments, and I was quick to notice a theme.  A lot of people were commenting how much she would love it and how easy it was once you knew what you were doing.

A couple of days went by and I couldn’t resist my curiosity any longer.  After watching a few how-to videos online, I headed to town to buy the supplies I would need.

And am I ever glad I did!  I love it!  Sure there’s been lots of trial and error and a few curses here and there, but for the most part it’s been quite a relaxing, enjoyable new hobby.

So, with the festive season upon us, I wanted to make some holiday hats for Gavin.  I’ve only done two so far, and I know I have a long ways to go, but I think they came out kinda cute:

For this stocking hat, I followed a video I found on youtube here.  It was a 5 part “series” and I found it very helpful.

And, if you know me, you will not be surprised to see….
