Crochet Time - Kids Hats -Batch 3A

-

The weather has been delightful for the past few days. A bit cooler but warm enough for me, low humidity and good air quality. Windows open, so you can hear birds singing and all of the other neighborhood noises. It will be getting warm again next week

Megan, yes, I know many people do not allow their cats up on the kitchen counters. I have always let my boys go where they want to, even on the kitchen counters. I can't always be around to shoo them off, especially when I was working or asleep. If I am going to use the counter to cook, I just clean it off first.  

Mid to end of June while I was working on these. All of which I didn't have enough for a full hat of one color. Also not wanting to do a mash up by combing colors.  

The top six rows are the increase rows and those are done in the neutral. Then switch to the colored yarn until it is used up. Back to the neutral to finish off however many rows needed to get the hat to the needed length. 
 


 All in all it feels good to use up all of the bits and bobs of extra yarn and make something useful. 

I also made a trek to a local high end yarn shop that I found on line. Very small space in a building that most tenants are businesses like insurance guys. One room had most of the current yarn, another that a half dozen women were gather working on their stitchery, the final one with odds and ends, mostly books they are trying to get rid of. 

I saw lots of pretty but expensive yarn, nothing I was willing to splurge on as I really don't have anything I want to make for myself. At the prices for their yarn my typical blanket project would cost me $300 in yarn! Wow!






 Happy Weekend!

    Recall visiting a high-end yarn shop, where they had hand-spun this and mohair that.
    It was interesting, but I didn't buy a thing either.
    Cute hats; the break in the colors is adorable.

It is Friday and in the liturgical calendar it is Good Friday. The Friday before Easter Sunday. Growing up this always meant church service in the afternoon, usually a long service with communion.  Dobby is doing well, I can't believe how quickly he has settled in and how comfortable he seems to be from his first days here. He will see the vet next week, so we will see what she says about him.  Doing his loaf impression on the bed.  Neon Lights from Big Twist. Nice bright primary colors.     This is actually my closet at the end of March. It is rather empty at the moment but I want to wait to buy when the company has a promo where they have a special on shipping for a set price for the entire order. Otherwise the cost of shipping is 10 percent of the value of the order and I plan to buy lots of yarn. I want to finish using the final three yarns on the right side.  Happy Weekend.  Happy Easter.

I am bummed, less than two weeks into this new blog and I get a comment that I had to delete. On the old blog I had comment moderation set up so that nothing showed until I had reviewed it. I was hoping with a new blog that I might have some time before that happened. Guess not. For now I will leave moderation off, but may need to put it back on.  Added 4/10/26 8 AM - Comment moderation is back on. I got six comments all from the same place. I did report them to Blogger, their ID said they had only been on Blogger since last month.   I am bummed as I seemed to have lost a few readers with the move. Even though I published the new link. Miss you guys! Dobby and I are at an impass of sorts. While he made himself scarce the day of his vet visit I figured I should see how well he would go into the carrier. NOT WELL! I tried twice and he spent a good deal of time in the basement hiding. We seem to be rebonding and I have to get him to accept the carrier, even if it is with bri...

It has been a long week. Severe weather with thunderstorms and a nearby tornado. Over 5 inches of rain this week alone and overall this month double what we would normally get for the entire month. One fatality, he was struck by lightning on Wednesday night.  The guy was walking in a parking lot to his truck. Thankfully no damage here and also to none of my friends. Lots of flooding, especially streets.  Amazing to watch all the stupid drivers who drive through flooded streets. Then are dumbfounded when their car dies on them. Thousands of dollars in damage to get the car engine working and the car cleaned out too.  Still working on crochet projects for the time being. This one is Happy Rainbow yarn from Big Twist, bright pastel colors. Would make a great baby or kid blanket.  Dobby is doing well, he did not freak out with the storms this week. Also he branched out and didn't sleep on my bed a couple of nights. Maybe he did sleep there but just wasn't there when I wo...
