For some reason this little beanie gave me trouble from the moment I started it. A simple little beanie - and I've made dozens of them . . . but at first I was off on the count as I increased each row. Not a big thing when it comes to a simple little beanie - I could have just kept crocheting, but being slightly OCD - that doesn't work for me. When I finally got it going right - the yarn had a big dirty section. Again not a big deal - just cut the yarn and keep going. When I decided to use the eyelet - I grabbed the wrong piece after I had cut it to fit and sewed on a piece that was too short (something I didn't discover until I was nearly done). I take this as a sign that I need to spend more time doing stuff like this.
I like the eyelet trim.
You can' really tell from the photo - but this hydrangea is the biggest one I have ever seen. A little girl gave it to me at work this morning. They are her favorite flower - and she knows how much I like them too. She told me that when she is grown up she is going to plan her wedding around the time of year that their hydrangeas are in bloom.
Sometimes that feeling of accomplishment when you finally finish something giving you a headache is so much sweeter!
ReplyDeleteIt was like I had never crocheted in my life - I was just glad to have it over and done with. :)
