progress eventually

I just love it when my crafty buddy and I get together for tea, a movie and some crocheting. It's not too often that we do it in the evening because she goes to bed pretty early--but on this night she was feeling energetic. Hannah snapped this picture of us while we were chatting and I was surprised to see how involved my hands were in this conversation. Anyway...

I needed to finish a baby hat I was making for a friend, actually, I hadn't started yet but I was determined to make great progress during our time. I had already seen the movie (Akeelah and the Bee, wonderful movie by the way) so I was sure to keep my eyes down on my work and make good headway on the hat. Emily kept checking on my progress throughout and my hat never did get any bigger then the coil of a snail shell all night! I wasn't impressing her or me with my speed. But, I did eventually finish the tiny thing so all is well.

Isn't this yarn so cute? I wish I could give you the specifics on it, but sadly I can't. I bought it well over a year ago at a shop far from home, didn't save the label and only bought one skein!! Ugh. Hate that.

I decided to add a little scalloped brim at the last minute and I'm very happy with how it looks. I really hope it fits the little head it's intended for because I wasn't too sure on how to size it, but oh--how I loved working with that yarn. yum.

(sorry for the blur here)

The hat is rather cute. Reminds me of something to wear on a sunny spring day. I loved that movie, too. Very very uplifting. Crafting buddies are the best!!

Very lovely little cap... can you share the pattern?

How exactly do you add that little scalloped edging. I have made so many of these hats and I have thought about adding that type to mine, I'mm just not sure how.

Really wonderful yarn.

Beautiful! Your scalloped edge is going to be precious framing for baby's face. Hard to talk with hands and crochet...but you did it!

~~Love the hat!! It is so cute and sure to bring more of the baby cuteness out!! I love babies.
~~I love that movie too. I would like to buy it actually so we can watch it anytime. I am such a wimp I cried during it. LOL
~~Love how your hands are all over the place. You must have been telling a story and your friend seems into it as well.
~Have a great day!!!!

Gorgeous Hat - was just discussing the size of baby things with my aunt (soon to be a grandmother again! ) , and it is so easy to forget how teeny tiny small they can be .
I'm sure it will be a well worn hat - the yarn is lovely , I love the way the shades get darker/lighter. Lovely pictures too .
