First hat!

So, I've done it (and done it 3 more times since!)...

A crocheted hat and it was SO easy!!

I got this great pattern from http://crochetme.com/cranium and I have been trying to figure out my head size ever since.

The tension, hook size and type of material all, not surprisingly, affect the size of the finished product - imagine that!

At any rate, it was good fun and a great way to keep me from nibbling snacks in the evening. I do like to start and finish a project all in one day, however, so it was a couple of cross-eyed hours later that I came out with this!

A slightly longer blue version was created on the drive to Kamloops this Easter weekend. Again, necessity is the mother of invention and crocheting requires me to keep my eyes DOWN instead of on the snowy roads. I think Mike should be eternally grateful, don't you??
