For anyone curious...the Holiday Market at the Farmer's Market went OK. Didn't earn as much as last year. I am most grateful to a family who each wanted one of my hats for Christmas!!! That sure made me feel good to know folks like my hats!
Here are a few things I've made the past several months:
The hats are all 100% cotton yarn called "I Love This Cotton" from Hobby Lobby.
I call this one "Mountain Sunrise" as I was trying to recreate the colors of a sunrise over the mountains near my home.
I used a variety of stitches including single crochet, spike stitches and linen stitch.
I priced the cotton hats a few dollars higher than the acrylic hats as the cotton costs quite a bit more and I've used a lot more detailed crochet techniques which take longer to make.
This one is a fairly simple tapestry crochet hat. Yep, I got the mountain thing going on again. I do like mountains.
This one uses tapestry crochet combined with spike stitches. Kind of reminds me of a forest fire on the mountains.....
And here is a nice tapestry crochet heart hat....took me forever to figure out how to get the heart shape somewhat even. Trouble is I don't draw out a pattern ahead of time, just have an idea in my head and I give it a go...and...rip it out if it doesn't look the way I wanted to.....But I think it turned out pretty nice.
This one is my favorite. It's a bit pale colored. But if you look close you can see it's pink tulips! My FAVORITE flower!!! hint hint hint.....
