Hat 89

I didn't actually use a pattern for hat 89, but it's the basic Easy sideways hat you can find around the web.  It was made using Vanna's Choice yarn in a very pretty Eggplant. 

Hat 88

With Hat 88 I added a few Jade beads. I think they are Jade, they might be of another stone.  My mom used to sell jewelry so I find things here and there and sometimes am not sure of the material.  I thought the beads were pretty and wanted to try and use it in a hat.  It was a bit of a pain so I doubt I'll be doing much of the hat beading thing, but it was interesting to try out.

Hat 87

Hat 87 is another hat where I used the Crochet Edgings and Trims to finish. The tan yarn is a Red Heart Soft yarn while the darker yarn is some leftover Lion Brand Homespun yarn I had.

Hat 86

For hat 86 I used some black Bamboo yarn and grey bamboo yarn that has some silver and gold coloring on it.   The Edging was taken from the book Crochet Edgings and Trims.  In the end, a kinda neat looking hat.  I'd like to try the same style during Xmas with some red and white to make a candy cane hat.

Hat 85

Hat 85 made with Caron Simply soft yarn in a HDC stitch. I had some real pretty buttons that I added to the side for a little extra decoration.

Hat 84

Hat 84 is another simple hat using some Caron Simply Soft and some really pretty red yarn I had. 

Hat 83

I like hat 83 quite a lot.  I used a stitch that was in Crochet Edgings & Trims and  instead of just making it an edging, I repeated it throughout the hat.  I was thinking if I used different colors throughout it would look like a pretty flower garden.  I'll have to try that one day.

Organized Yarn!

For a while now I've thought about getting a yarn winder.  I kept putting it off thinking I could just hand roll everything and it would just be fine.  A couple weeks ago while looking at my yarn stash I could only shake my head at how unorganized and messy it was.  I went and ordered a yarn winder off of Amazon that same day.  After about a week of non stop winding I have the prettiest stash ever! I'm so happy and keep looking around the house for more yarn that I might have missed.  Definitely worth the money and finding yarn is just so much easier.

Hat 82

This past Xmas I was part of a secret Santa and my Santa got me these very cute ceramic butterfly beads.  My first thought was how cute they would look on a hat!  So I just made a basic hat and put on a cute little butterfly bead.  I love how much just a small touch can add to a hat. 

Hat 81

For hat 81 I started the hat in rounds then changed it to rows to make it ribbed.  I recently bought a bunch of craft buttons so wanted to throw them into the mix too.  The hat turned out a little smaller than I wanted, but still seemed to work.
