Something Different

I needed to do something different in my spare time. I have now made over 200 cards for my company, and the other morning, I got creatively blocked. All I could think is, I really want to crochet. So I left the house thirty minutes early (before work) and went to Wally World. I bought a needle and two colors of yarn. And then I made myself a hat. It took from 8 am, when I bought the supplies, until 730 pm. I thought it was going to turn out just awful. At first, it looked like the carpet. Then it looked like a barret, however you spell that word. Then it finally looked like a hat. So here's a picture.


People were giving me such a hard time about it. Then I had to listen to stories of how Grandma and Auntie So-and-so used to crochet. "Are you really going to wear that?" My answer was simple. If it turns out cute, yes. And it did turn out cute. I doubted myself for a while there, but it did turn out cute. If not, please tell me so I don't embarrass myself. It's a little long so that once I wear it, I can flip the bottom up about an inch all around. My husband told me it needed a little shaping, so I slept in it last night. And I shocked myself. It was so comfortable. I don't want to do my hair today. I want to wear it even if it does get into the 90s. lol

Have fun! I hope to get some cards made this weekend. lol
