… is usually the hardest thing.\u00a0 After the 3rd Annual Knitting and Crochet Blog week<\/a> and managing to blog 7 days in a row, I felt totally all blogged out.\u00a0 Then I caught a cold.\u00a0 But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been idle.\u00a0 I crocheted a bag.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9813\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It had been a while since I crocheted anything and it was a lot of fun. I remember when I first started playing with yarn. The finger yarns and smaller hooks scared me. I was slow and not very consistent in my stitching. It felt satisfying making the a medium sized bag with sport weight yarn and a 3mm hook.<\/p>\n

And feeling quite inspired, I picked up the leftover yarn from the princess peplums cardi<\/a>, the bag and the Oatmeal Kina<\/a> and just made a hat.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is called the Hexacket Hat.\u00a0 It is a bucket hat with a hexagon<\/p>\n

I am writing up the pattern for the hat at the moment.\u00a0 It is taking longer than it should because I am writing it up for any gauge, any yarn, any hook size so you can just pick up what you have and work with it and make it for any size head.\u00a0 Isn’t that cool?\u00a0 Yes of course it is cool for the person doing the crocheting not the person doing the writing and trying to make it easy to decipher.<\/p>\n

Oh well.<\/p>\n

And then because I am so sick and haven’t been moving so much I started knitting something else.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It has grown considerably.\u00a0 But it is not done yet.\u00a0 Fingering weight yarn, size 3 US needles.\u00a0 Slow and stockinette.\u00a0 Just what I needed.\u00a0 Have you ever noticed how sock yarn\/fingering weight yarn is so amazing for children’s clothing?\u00a0 It is light and colorful and a single skein or two max make an awesome piece.<\/p>\n

Come back again soon and check it out.<\/p>\n
