I finished another project and rather than waiting around for the weekend, I thought....arghhh! Okay. Let's do some night blogging, then I can move on to the next project. Either way, consider this my weekend post if I don't see you in four days.
Anyhow, I now seem to have something crochet-y in the works, while I play around with the fabric piles. This one's a winter beanie for the bub made from Zarina Print. But blimey! I was following a pattern for 8 ply yarn, using 4 ply. So winged it I did past Row 8, plonking it on her head every few rows to see if I need to do another one. Guessing the spots where I needed to do the increase. Really! Stupid newbies! (I'm too ambitious for my own good sometimes.)
Then I had to go and embellish it with a flower......
....or I should say "cauliflower". Dang!
I do believe this "blossom" is over-powering my cute "blossom". I hacked it off right away....gently, of course. It's now living its second life as a brooch. Much better.
Hokay! I'm off to join the geezer watch The Office, the brit version, on DVD.
Good night!

Really, really cute Jade!! I always kind of make it up as I go along with crochet. Your little blossom is just gorgeous and yes the big one looks better on the shirt!
The hat is fabulous and so is your bub showing it! I think a smaller flower on the hat will look great! A little cauliflower broche...
Cauliflower! LOL!
Love the hat, Jade. Is that actually some *pink* I spy?? ;)
Now you say it, it probably is a little 'cauliflower' like.
It does look better on the shirt.
Your little bub is just beautiful and her hat is too.
thanks for the extra post.
Woohoo! Two posts this week. And we ARE holding you to a weekend post anyway!!! Gosh -- you're amazing -- that hat turned out great for "winging it". And the little bub??? She's getting so big {sniff}{sniff} She's adorable!
the hat is so darn cute and the wearer even cuter!
What cute colours..... luv the flower too... your right much better as a brooch...

The hat is just great and the bub looks amazing in it!!
The hat is so divine. By the way it was nice to see you today....in person.
Oh what an adorable hat Jade. I am glad that you took the flower off too, much cuter without it.
It does look good on the shirt...BUT I liked it on the hat too!!!
