John has one of the first hats I ever made. Or rather, he had it. It's dark green with white trim, all done in single and double crochet. It looked quite stunning and professional for a novice hat. A year after I made it, I actually took it back to fix it when I noticed that the ends weren't sew in properly and that I could make it longer.
John then lost it some place.
He has a tendency to lose things. Particularly winter accessories. He's been through at least 3 different pairs of gloves/mittens. I playfully threatened to not make him crochet things if he's just going to lose them! So, he asked for a different hat in blue, which he wears quite often. Unfortunately the yarn (acrylic) is fuzzing in an unattractive way so I dragged him to my local yarn shop and let him pick a couple skeins in something high quality. He selected a Peruvian wool in this color. It's called Saddle Brown.
I'm using Laughing Willow's Lazy Cable Hat Pattern. So far so good!
Have you met ye mighty fabric shaver yet? It is possibly one of the best things that ever happened to my hat made out of Malabrigo.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of such a thing! Do you have any recommendations?
