Because,
1. I want my next baby to have their own crochet baby blanket like Lydia's (I'm not expecting again, so no one freak out on me!)
2. It would be nice to have some cute hats to use for Lydia, photography props, and gifts!
3. I HAVE OODLES OF TIME :) I totally understand now why stay-at-home moms tend to get crafty. I have to do SOMETHING productive.
So I got on Youtube and watched videos and practiced stitches and things on my cheap yarn I already had. It came a lot easier than I thought it would and I'm really LOVING it.
So here is my very first finished project! I'm really happy with it and thought it turned out pretty cute :)
I obviously had to get some pictures with Lydie wearing it. She wasn't too thrilled with me taking pictures of her at first.
But then, after mom did a little entertainment, she came around :)
I like this picture because her little teeth poking out look like a bunny rabbit :)
The only downside to this hat was it's a TAD too small for Lydia. The pattern says it should fit a 1-3 year old. Either I made it too tight or Lydia's head is big (her head size is usually in the 75th percentile) I'm thinking about making another one a little bit bigger. If I decide to, I'll either give this to someone as a gift or sell it. If anyone is interested just comment on this post and we can talk about it!
ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME?! THAT was your first project? Did I ever tell you about the time I spent in Texas with the Jacksons and they taught me to crochet. I started a scarf (it didn't really look like one because I couldn't keep my sides straight). Came home. Didn't pick it up again for 6 months, then forgot how to crochet. The end. I'd like to place an order for one of those little hats, please. :)
ReplyDeleteLol....I actually am working on something to use for your little one's pictures when she gets here :) I can make you one of these too...who do you want it for?
DeleteReally?? Yippee!! It would be fun for the little one. Let's wait until she gets here, though. (I still think it might be a boy. I've had a weird unsettled feeling ever since I found out it was a girl. Not disappointment, though. Another girl would be fun.)
DeleteP.S. When did Blogger do this fancy reply thing? Fun!
I'll probably make some boy ones too anyways because Adam's brother's wife is having another boy this summer. I'm just going to end up having a plethora of hats because I like making them haha. I'm not sure when blogger changed the reply thing...I just noticed it when I wrote you back! It's about time though...
