So far so good


I don't like the yarn I want  something like noro that won't make me itch. But I must say I am in love with how far I have come. Knitting backwards and all.

3 for me

Now that I have the hang of this hat. I know I said I was done. But they go so quick. I like the look of the no plastic canvas but I don't like the way it sits on my forehead. I am currently making one for baby girl. Baby boy is next.

Not a fluke


I did the same pattern and got the same hat. Go me now I can rest maybe sometime later I can work on baby size.

Cadet hat

I made it with caron and I was going through her pattern. Went out thirteen rounds did one round of dec still too big. Alright took it down this time did thirteen rounds but 72 sts (crochet beret pattern from cyca) then follwed her directions from sc in the front loop only on down and bam! Just right. I want to make another one with red heart and see what size I get. Right now I am not concerned with smaller heads just trying to get the pattern down right. Man 6 times for real! But worth it is 80 outside and I have a hat on my twistouts. It is just that cute.

I am going to wear out my arm

I made two hats and I am not happy yet. I thought the 72 sts was too big because it had a hump on top. So I went down to 60 and it was tight and lost it's box shape. Maybe being too picky. Anyway I am going to make another 72 one and call it a day. Wish me luck.

Cute pom poms

Ms. Toni said are going to add some pom pom I was like maybe. I really did not have any plans but she mentioned I was like what a great idea. So there you go. They came out cute need to make one for sabrenia she was the first to mention a ear flap hat one with the a&t on front.  We will see. I am ready to put a spin like cables or fair isle. 

Lord if you're not gonna change it please make me alright with it! 

Success

I fiddled with the ear flap hat pattern and this is what I got. I will make the third size for myself use key plate 3.5 and worsted weight. I did that for the one my baby is wearing. Gold one is for the baby. I need yarn to match our winter coats. I love them.

Homemade curl stuff

I put prostyle and she butter together. Put it on me hair put big corn rows and rollers on the end and this is what I got. It is still a bit soft the wet pieces dried softer than the dry. Reading recipes I 2/3 made curly pudding. 
Holding gel+moisture+shine
Pro style+shea butter+? Right now I have nothing for shine am really looking for something for shine I am thinking coconut oil.
