Inspiration

I’m beginning a scarf. I haven’t done one in a long while.

Starting it reminded me that I haven’t crocheted any scarves for my shop either. The hats took off on their own, but I am very capable of making other things.

This inspires me to make more things. Winter session is putting a damper on my crochet time, but there’s only two and a half weeks to freedom. After that, I will be free to create as much as I want.

Here’s to inspiration.

Peruvian Print Beanie

Pervuian Print Beanie

I love this yarn, and I must find more of it. The colors blend so beautifully together. I made this beanie from the yarn leftover after I made a beanie with a bill and ear flaps. Both will end up with the same recipient. This color is yummy and gorgeous.

The Cloche

Indigo Cloche

My friend Tamara is the cutest thing you have ever seen in your life. She’s super photogenic, and has a killer smile. She also loves hats.

She posted a picture of herself in a hat very similar to a Daisy Buchanan style cloche, and I was immediately inspired to be able to crochet one for her.

After many fits and starts, this is the pattern I came up with. It’s very cute!

The Heather Grey Beanie

Heather Gray Beanie

I had a request from a customer to make a plain heather gray beanie. This was the result. I love the way this color looks, so I made another for the shop. This item is ready to ship! Order now! Check the announcements page of my shop for current coupons and discount offers.

Happy New Year!
