My first foray into millinery!

I've had quite a busy weekend with making things. I managed to do a spot of sewing on Friday (my husband had a day's holiday to take, so he looked after my little helper for a while). I haven't quite finished it all though, so I'll blog again when I've managed to get it done!!!


I was asked on Thursday if I could crochet hats.
Errrr... well I'd never tried, so I though what the heck!  I was given a picture to try and re-create, although I ended up in my wool shop with a rather retro pattern to try and make a basic hat that I could then alter.

So...

... here is my second ever attempt at making a crocheted hat!

I'm actually quite pleased with it! I've spent a year making roses like the ones I posted about last week and never mastered working in rounds, but I have now managed to make 2 hats (and the flower on this one). I'm rather chuffed with myself!

This is hat no.1 - the first hat I've ever crocheted, but it's a funny size, so I abandoned it without any flowers or frills!
