crocheted hats
I’m still crocheting. Crocheting is the new blogging you know. 
Last year at this time I was writing daily (NEVER AGAIN!) nablopomo entries. This year I can’t stop buying yarn and dreaming about what I can make out of it.
I decided I needed to add some hats to my collection of scarves. I think I’m getting pretty good at them (especially since I’m winging it – I never learned how to follow a pattern!) and they’re so much quicker than scarves.
I took photos of a couple of them so you all could see samples of what I’ve been doing. (Okay, so do you know how hard it is to take a picture of yourself? Really hard!)
I love this burnt orange yarn. It’s similar to a set I made for my MIL for Christmas last year. The yarn is a super soft suede. It’s Lion Brand but unfortunately it’s being discontinued so I’ve been buying it in every color everywhere I can find it. I made the same set in black suede too.
This is Lion Brand Homespun in two different purples. I didn’t have very good lighting – trust me, it’s purple! I kinda wanna keep this one!
Seriously – I stink at taking my own photo! Do you see the “I feel ridiculous” look on my face? Oh yeah. And it might have been a little better if I’d thought to put on some make-up first. Oops!
Anyway, I have some lap blankets in the works too, and I think I’m going to try a shawl next. I’d really like to learn how to read a pattern so I can make socks and stuff. Of course, I’ve been saying that for years, I’m just too lazy to do it!

Oh I like!
And too lazy? I can’t even imagine what kind of work and dedication it took to make the adorable caps and scarves, much less a socks. So lazy, I think not.
Also, you should maybe sell some and bring in some mu-lah! Or not, just a suggestion/possibility.
Good work and you’re beautiful!
Not to seem stalkerish or anything…
Those are beautiful – and so are you! I could never master the art of crocheting. I’ll stick to knitting fun fur scarves.
You are both too sweet! Amira I say I’m lazy because I hate to learn something new. Maybe I’m just stubborn.
I am going to try to sell some, but I stink at the business part of pretty much everything so these will probably end up as gifts!
So many talents!
I’ve been saying I want to learn to crochet but I am much lazier than you…
Gorgeous! And don’t sell yourself short. I like the pics.
Oh I am totallly in love with that purple one! And you look fantastic…who cares about makeup. I admire your hard work and your talent!
Both you and the hats look great, sis. Don’t sweat the missing makeup.
You are so talented! I wish I could crochet or knit, but I have the attention span of a 4 year old.
Very fetching (and you look cute as always!). Is the Secret Santa taking requests?
Ummm, hello?! Are you putting this stuff on Etsy or what?? I love the burnt orange hat & scarf!! I would total buy them. Beautiful.
Keep up the good work!
Ciao
The Lion Brand suede! That’s what I used to make my Thing! ALL the suede is being discontinued, or just that color? Because I am about to go into a yarn-buying panic if you say it’s the former.
Oh gosh, I do the same thing this time of year. I have so much yarn I will never get around to working it up. My fav thing to do are baby blankets and last year I made 15, all of which one is left. Lots of babies last year.
I especially love the burnt orange. That yarn looks soooo soft!
That burnt orange one is awesome! I love it!
Beautiful! Do you find crocheting easier than knitting? I know how to knit, but want to try crocheting.
