I'm a knit- and crochet-wear designer who loves making simple hats and accessories that look great on any person in any color. I also enjoy creating patterns that my fellow crafters can enjoy. This blog combines my love of yarn with blogging my life through projects!

crochet headband for custom order

Yet another long time time between updates.  Ugh.  I have good excuses, though, but I doubt you want to hear them.  Suffice it to say that work and school are still kicking my butt.  For example, I had a week to write a 10-15 page paper.  YAY!  And next week, I will be across the country for a business trip, making my life even nuttier.

Anywho, I want to pop in and show you some pictures of a headband I completed for a custom order a few weeks back.  The picture quality is pretty bad for some reason, but hopefully you get the idea:

The yarn was Vanna's Choice and the crocheted headband pattern is one of my very own - available for free right here on my blog :)

custom creation: red crochet slouch hat

Hi, everyone!  I'm back after a brief and stressful hiatus.  Something tells me there will be quite a few of those this semester.  Silly classes are going to kill me.

Anyway, I've just completed a small batch of custom orders, and here's one of my favorites: a really cute and simple slouch hat in one of my favorite colors - bright red!

The yarn I used was Red Heart Soft Touch, and it lives up to its name.  It's quickly becoming one of my favorites.

I definitely want to make a bunch more of these slouch hats for my shop.  They're simple and quick to make, but look so awesome when they're done.  It's just something I improvise each time, but I'm loving the band I make on the bottom, as well.  Go me.

Let me know if you're interested in a written pattern for this hat and I'll try to type one up this weekend.

Hope you're all having a great week!
