You know its time to clean out the couch when...


The old food starts growing a face...HA! Seriously guys...pulled this old noodle out of my sofa today looking for a crochet hook that the couch was trying to eat. I never saw this before...I'm guessing it was a project at Max's school.




This was what I was making with my crochet hook. I am so proud of myself :) I didn't even use a pattern. I discovered how to do the "S" pattern in the stripes by accident. I was trying to shrink the rows down so that the hat didn't inadvertently become a place mat. I liked the way it looked, so I went with it. Its has a cute little brim and a massive pom-pom on the crown.

OOOOH yeah, I almost forgot...the yarn is made from post consumer plastic bottles...how cool is that??? Read about it here!

That is SO cute!! I want one. I tried to pick up knitting but I lost interest after realizing how much practice it would take to make anything cool. Is crocheting easier?

PS - I love your blog!

Love the hat!
I'm going to wait until after Thanksgiving to do a review. I've noticed that a lot of bloggers are taking a break this week, so if I wait it will get maximum viewers.
