I loved both

So I made both. The vintage-looking pixie hat took me about one hour to make. The one with ear flaps took maybe 2 hours - or 12 times 10 minutes ;) ! It was suppposed to have bear ears but in the end I took them off, and think it looks better without. I still love both, but let's say the pixie hat is particularly cute.

Oh, and if you're wondering why the pictures are blurry and not properly showing the hats, know that this little guy 1. doesn't want to stay still and 2. doesn't want to wear a hat. Not very helpful when you want a photo of a still baby with a hat.

If you're looking for me

You might find me in the crochet zone.

Whenever I have 5 minutes ahead of me (and even when I don't), I jump on my ball of yarn and my crochet to finish something. I made 5 hats last week : 3 different hats for me, with unsatisfying results (so I might just create another one), one darling little pink hat with a flower for my niece, one for my brother. I started a scarf for myself, with the nice fuschia color you see on the photo.

I just cannot stop, it's so addictive, I never thought it would be so!
So if you're looking for me, you know where I'm at...

Latest Crochet Creations

I never had a chance to post images of my latest crochet work, so here they are. I finished them back in March, just before I delivered.

I improvised, following the baby sweater tutorial and adapting it to my size. I had to start back a couple of times but in the end, it fits perfectly and looks good. I didn't add sleeves because I liked the grey one without and I tried for the purple but they were too wide and it looked odd.

Now I have to wait for Fall to come so I can wear them!

...and a baby sweater

Again, just by following simple video instructions I was able, to my amazement, to crochet that baby cardigan. Quickly and easily! I did something wrong (not sure what exactly) so the front part turned out like an inverted 'V' instead of being straight, but I actually like it. I just need to add a cute button and... voilà!

Hooked... continued!

I'm spending most of my time crocheting these days. Completely addicted! The fantastic thing about crochet is that it's so easy, I'm just following videos and was able to make things I thought were for experts only.

I had some material left from my baby blanket and tried making a hat and baby booties with it. For a first try I'm quite happy with the final result.

Now working on more hats for the kids, a baby sweater and a cardigan for me. I'm having so much fun!

Done!

It took me 3 weeks to finish it - my first crochet project, a baby blanket.

Now what will I do of my evenings? I should quickly learn how to make hats and cardigans!
