Another one of the moms was interested in that hat pattern, but in a larger size and in pink 🙂 I figured out how to make the pattern a wee bit bigger to make a girl’s size.
This is based on the Lacey Casey hat pattern and a picot flower I found here.
I decided to go back to making some more tawashi to take a break from the dishcloths I have been working on. Today, I started on these three, two strawberries and a fish 🙂
When I took a break to go online for a bit, there was a post on one of my forums about looking for a crocheter to make a hat. She posted a link to a project on Etsy. I found similar ones on Ravelry and decided to try it out. Here is the finished hat. At least so far…I am waiting to hear if she is ok with the flower. It has 5 petals instead of six, but I liked it, LOL.

The neighbor girl came over to play today and the kids spent a bunch of time playing house, complete with a fantastic kitchen. They made all sorts of goodies out of homemade play-doh, including yummy cookies 🙂
The kids and I played Dominoes last night and then moved on to setting them up as tracks and setting off the chain reaction of falling dominoes.
It wasn’t actually meant to be a hat for her, but when she saw me making it and she tried it on, I decided it could be hers after all.
The pattern is unique because it is made from side to side using the Tunisian simple stitch. You work a repeating pattern around and then, in the end, seam it up the back. I used the leftover Homespun from J.’s hat and the owl bag I made.
I am thinking of adding earflaps and edging it in white fluff…
I don’t know if more than 2 days have ever gone by in our house without Lego building and playing going on. And we got them when my daughter was 1 1/2! The kids love them. I think they are the best. Here are a few random shots from today:
I love the water bottle holders I made for Cedar Point. Since then, I have made one for a friend and an extra (pink one) for us 🙂
