Wild freeform hat

I'm almost done with a hat that took me quite a while to make. It has many colors of acrylic yarn. Poor acrylic yarn goes so unloved these days. But when you have kids with cotton candy fingers wearing your hats, you too will be happy you can just toss it in the washer & dryer without a thought. Try that with those gourmet yarns, I dare you.

Anyway I still have to weave the spare ends in, but here are some photos of how it looks right now.

Teapot Hat is done!

Yay, I finished the teapot hat. You can wear the spout to the front or the side or the back.

Teapot Hat

I'm having so much fun crocheting this new hat that I don't want to put it down. But's it's 1:36 AM and I'm getting cross-eyed so it's time to call it a night.
I had an epiphany tonight. Make videos featuring my art projects and back them with the music my friend and I have put onto CD's.
At this point my hat resembles a teapot. I'm not sure if it will lose it's 'teapottiness' or not. We shall see.

Vest

I'm still working on this freestyle vest cape thing. I made some progress today so here is a new photo. Rainy days are good for crochet. And a relative just gave me a ton of yarn because her hands can no longer handle the stress of crochet.

A little bit each day.

I've been doing a bit of freestyle jigsaw crochet while waiting for a movie or sitting in the park. You don't really need to take much with you. Just a few odd balls of yarn and a hook or two and some scissors. Yesterday I was using some fuzzy baby blue and pale pink yarn and some shortish eyelash yarn is shades of purple and pink. All the pieces I'm currently making will go into making the wrap.

Wrapped in love and yarn

This triangular piece would be perfect for a bikini top. I'll have to remember that for later. (see photo below)

Saturday I started a new wrap in my jigsaw puzzle style. I'm surprised how quickly it is coming along. Yesterday I worked on it at the archery meeting. Then when I got home I found an old vest to pin it too so I could better figure out where to place each design element. I'm having a lot of fun with it.

books=ideas

While I was browsing Barnes and Noble I noticed that new freeform books have come out. So if you haven't looked for a while, you might want to go see for yourself.
