Good Morning! I have a busy day ahead of me.... I have a "Star Student" lunch today. The girls teacher picks one student every week to be the star. On Wendsay they get to pick 2 friends to have lunch with the teacher and if a parent wants to come they are welcome to. Before I do that I have to pack a lunch and pay bills sounds like fun dosen't it? Hope every one is having a good day!

 

Congrats on your Star Student! That sounds like an awesome achievement. Are you a proud mama?

Taylor, I love you hats. The one with the brim is too cute!!!

 

Dorothy, I had my twinners 7 weeks early. I'm glad to hear that mom and baby are OK. That's quite early. How big is the little bundle of joy?

 

I finished a hat on Sunday. Our internet has been squirrelly lately, so I didn't get it posted. I hope this will post. :xfin

I am waiting to hear from the babys daddy to find out how he is. I think he weighed a little over 5 pounds. I had my twins at 29.5 weeks.

Taylor- I love your hats ! You are so talented!!! That one with the brim is adorable!!!

 

Dorothy- Love the RR- wow you are fast!!! Hope the baby is doing well. I was a 5 lb baby when I was born!

 

Beth - WTG on the hat!!

 

I'll be traveling back home tomorrow and then it is back to reality. We stayed in all day today- it was snowy/sleety kind of day- we watched 2 movies and we baked cookies. Had Chinese food delivered for dinner! I made a hat for DD yesterday and this morning made matching fingerless gloves. She now has matching hat, scarf and fingerless gloves from the yarn she picked out last time I visited.

Got some more hats made the other day and 2 more washcloths while at a hockey camp today with my son. Planned on much more crocheting but did more talking and watching with the other parents. Didn't think we'd know anyone but did and that was nice too.

 

Dor - that RR is neat. Was that a varigated yarn? Does look soft.

 

Taylor - great hats girl!

The yarn I used was Bernatt baby corodnates. It is a self striping yarn with a sparkley thread that runs through it. You never know how your blanket will turn out! I have used it in the past to make several blankets. It is very soft the only draw backs to it is the thread will catch and some times when it changes colot it gets thicker or thinner. It washes wonderfully and looks great for a long time after.

Tays hat that every one has commented on was done on a knitting loom. They work up fast and you get some interesting patterns from it being "knitted" some of the yarn looks completely diffrent than it does crocheted...

I had my instruction on how to make a hat,only took 3 hrs to go five rounds,all that counting,pulling out and restarting,I think by the third hat I may have it down pat,I hope

 

It gets a lot easier with practice. Congrats on learning something new!!! Keeps the brain young, you know!

What pattern are you using? When I first started making hats they were a mess. Keep practicing!! It will get easier and better. :cheer
