What do you think? Wouldn't it be cute? Anybody who knows me knows that I am a total scatterbrain!

Grad school has slowed me down tremendously. As the semester approaches the end, it is slowing me down even more. Week 16 is not done. (it is started) I cannot believe I have let myself get almost to week 19 and I'm not finished with 16.

Tonight.

Tonight.

I promise.

My weekly paper is finished and I'm not doing anymore homework tonight.

The hat is calling my name.............

[melissacrochets]

I finally finished week 16 a few nights ago. I don't know when I'll get a chance to work on week 17 with the semester closing soon. MAJOR project due. But I will get something done as soon as pahsee'bluh. (French pronunciation of possible.)

[melissacrochets]

I'm still behind. But...here' something for week 19: http://www.kyledane.com/raquel/crafts/patternbasichat.htm

Okay, I have been terrible at this crochet-a-long. Utterly terrible. So terrible that I have been scared to post. I think I may have three or four hats done. (forgot just how many) and I think only one of them was one from the list. But I am hoping that I can dive back in and get some hats done. I doubt I can catch up but maybe if I do two hats a week, I can get close.

Let me show you a hat I designed a few months ago for my baby girl for Easter. Does this count as one of my hats??? If so, then that puts me at four, I think.

 

 

Oh and I forgot, upon viewing my photobucket, it seems that I do indeed have two more hats so that puts me at six....

 

Here is one I designed a few weeks ago.

 

 

And here is one I designed in Feb but I crocheted it again this week.

 

 

So, am I close enough yet to get caught up???? Who knows. I will try much harder to do better at this crochet-a-long thing.

I'm not sure how many people are caught up. I know I'm behind by about 3 or 4 weeks.

 

All the hats you have made do indeed count. We're not legalistic about keeping to the list. The list is to support one another with patterns. I keep to the list because I want to. You can use whatever pattern you like. Don't be afraid of us. I'm the only one that bites.

[Lavelle26]

:eek You bite??? At least I'm here and your there!!

Okay, I have been terrible at this but I hope to do better now. I don't know what kind of yarn that is for this weeks hat and I don't know where I could find it. So, I printed off a few patterns from the past weeks that I like and I will attempt to make at least two of them. I am really liking the Baby derby hat and the Curly one. (for babies...don't remember the exact name.)

[Lisaizme]

I'm still trying to keep up and post the patterns in my first post.. since mine is the second one on this thread.

 

for week 20, there's a description of the yarn used on yarndex:

Since the Colinette is super bulky, I would guess that LB Homespun or RedHeart Light & Lofty might work for it.

 

Hope this helps someone.

[ktornatola]

Thanks Lisa!

I just finished Week 20's hat. It worked up quick....but I think it might need more rows of sc. I used Homespun and it doesn't fit my head. I also used a N hook. It would definitely fit a child though.

[Lavelle26]

Okay, thanks for the yarn info. I just happen to have some homespun so I might try week 20's hat this week. I am wanting to do one for baby Chloe too so I am thinking of backtracking and doing the baby derby one. Gotta get that kitchen cotton though.

[Lavelle26]

I just finished up two hats today.

 

First hat I did is from the list for a few weeks ago...I think maybe week 5 or 6 or somewhere at the beginning. It was Dot's Sassy A hat. I was going to make this up for a friend but once I am done, I think I like it so much I am going to keep it. The coloring isn't very good in this pic but its nightime and my house if poorly lit.

I used Caron Simply Soft for this hat.

 

 

The second hat I did today was the hat for this week. I used homespun and 9.00mm hook but it turned out too small for me. It will fit little Chloe though and I can't wait to try it on her in the morning. I actually have enough homespun leftover to make another hat so I may do this pattern again with a bigger hook and more sc's and baby and I will have matching hats. How sweet would that be???

 

 

So, I have 8 of 20 done...going to catch up if it kills me...

[unicorn37757]

Those are really great looking hats!

[Lavelle26]

Thanks Penny. I think they will look better on. In fact, once Chloe gets up and eats, I will try the pink one on her and take a pic for everyone.

Will someone please give me a seriously hard kick in the pants? I am way behind here. I only have up to week 14 done. I need to get back on the hat making wagon. I promise not to go to bed tonight until one hat is made. Love the pictures that were recently posted.

[minwifeof4boys]

I'm really far behind but I'm making a plan to do 2 a week until I catch up....

[Lavelle26]

I am sorry but I don't think I will be the one to kick you in the pants. I only have 8 hats done so far. And that includes the two I did last night. But, I hope to do at least two maybe three a week until I get caught up again. I have a few printed off from previous weeks and I also have a few of my own that I am going to make.

We'll just kick each other in the pants... I am not sure why I ahve let this fall through the cracks.... I remember last year I donated the hats to the women's shelter and they loved them... this year they ahve added women and children ( they bought an old motel)..so the various sizes should be appreciated...

[Lavelle26]

Its a deal then...please don't kick too hard though...my toush is kind of boney...

Well you can kick as hard as you want on mine... I have plenty

I am going to work some this weekend on 19 and 20. I should get caught up at some point. I think with spring upon us, hats are not exactly on our minds. Though it wouldn't hurt me to make one for wearing in the sun. I am extremely fair skinned and live in the south near the ocean.

[karin4christ]

I did get a hat done yesterday. It was one of Dot's designs, the fast and fun hat (or maybe it is the fun and fast hat). It really worked up extremely quickly. I had a little trouble with round 6; I couldn't quite understand the crossed double crochets. But once I figured that out it worked up fast.
