The Mad Hatter
Call it a kink or a quirk of nature in me but when it comes to knitting and crocheting, I’m a bit gung ho. As soon as I see something I’d like to make, I dive straight into the yarn stash, with little thought to choosing the correct yarn for the project in-hand. If I don’t have what is required, I simply choose by colour, texture…and how much is there. My friend, the very talented Suibhán on Craftlee, was aghast. ‘What? You can’t do that. It’s like following a recipe without having the right ingredients. It just won’t work!’ (Oops, guilty as charged on that one too). You see, it’s all about having the correct tension.
T-E-N-S-I-O-N.
Bless me sister, for I have sinned. And I don’t just mean these hats. I made some very cute egg cosies recently. Gorgeous though they were, they wouldn’t fit anything that’s ever come out of a hen’s bottom. What can I say? So back to the hats. Don’t they look very pretty sitting here on the rocks? Shame that they are destined for the cranially challenged. But hey, luckily, I have a smallish head. Now call me a pea-brain, but I do so enjoy the creative process and one day I hope and pray that I will learn from my many weird and wonderful mistakes…
PLEASE post pic of the egg cosies 🙂
Ha! I might be completely shamed in crochet circles! I was thinking that it would make a funny post though….so I may at some stage. 🙂
Ooh inspired me to learn to crochet!!
The made me laugh in the reading room! Oops. I do like the hats
Ha! Back to the economics now!
Sadly yes – credit card markets! At least I have a bust of Adam Smith watching me, snuck in one poem about that before going back to work… 😛
Very beautiful hats! I love the colors! – andelieya
The hats are gorgeous. Maybe they would fit children.
