Take Care of the "Money-Makers"

The pictures below are the reason I haven't posted about our Disneyland trip yet.

I LOVE TO CROCHET!!!! It's my newest "thang". I love the feel of the yarn, the cadence when I get a row going. It is so calming to me. I know it's a funny time of year to start making beanies, but I will just stockpile them for Christmas gifts. I am getting quite the collection of cotton yarn--such fun colors.

I have been crocheting so much that I am feeling it in my wrists and forearms. Better slow down---gotta protect my "Money-Makers" after all. I am especially loving the brims---so handsome. They wore these (the ones pictured above, not below) to Wal-Mart the other day and we got at least 4 compliments on them. Cameron acted like he was the one that crocheted them.

I really can't believe they wore these for pictures!! I have been using their heads, trying to get my gauge and sizes right, but I thought for sure they would bolt once I took the camera out.

I wish I had a picture of the tiny one I made for Richele to use when she takes newborn pictures. I want to make a little boy one with a brim for her pictures as well. Little Caleb will be here before we know it to model it for us.

  1. You are talented! I once crocheted a potholder. I think it lasted for a week before it all unraveled.

    It was nice to see you last week!

  3. I love your hats. They would make great hats for chemo patients.

    By the way, you do know that Grandma Loveridge was a great crocheter. Just another of your creative skills that might be genetic ;o).

  5. What fun beanies you've made. I love them. The little girl hat with the flower on it is I think my personal favorite, but I love all of them. I am so impressed with you making your own pattern measuring the kids heads for sizing. You are really amazing.
