Kristal had her cute baby Issac a month ago and she posted a pic of her son in a VERY cute hat she made for him. That inspired me to pick up the knitting needles and go to work. Only that is not what I did. I actually looked up a million and one websites, talked to a few people and decided crocheting would be a better fit for me. I actually bought knitting needles and one crochet hook. I ended up going back and getting a smaller hook since I did not like the look of the bigger hook for the baby hats. If and when I ever make myself or my older kids a hat I will use th elarger hook.
With the help of Teresa at Crochet Mania I learned how to single crochet, double crochet and half double crochet. So far I have only made a hat with single crochet.
Here is pic of Baby Carson showing off my first finished hat---
He is a handsome little guy huh? Hat or no hat, I love this little guy. He made me want to meet Peanut a lot more though. I am more anxious than ever and I still have a little over 13 wks. AHHH!
So I am working on hat number 2 for Carson. I think when I am done with that one I will make one for Peanut. I am hoping that the one I am making now turns out like this one-
Those are not the colors I am using though- I am using a green and blue that I LOVE. I hope it turns out ok. I kind of tweaked a pattern that I found online. I think it is looking pretty good so far but I am not inclined to share, yet. Carson's mom (who no longer has a name, just Jacob and Carson's mom, haha!) reads this site and I do not want her to see it before I give it to him.
I want to make something for Peanut but since we are unsure of the sex I will make something like this for a girl-
and something like this for a boy-
I will also make a few unisex hats as well.
It feels so good for me to make something with my own two hands. I love it. It makes me feel GREAT about myself and seeing little babies in my creations just melts my heart.
