How do sheep protect you from the sun?

Hey all. Man it's been a long time since I posted. Sorry about that. I've not been up to much. Not for any lack of ideas, mostly just apathy. I'm in the middle of knitting a zebra for Spadgersdottier's birthday so most of my energy has gone there. I do have a dress underway for a friend and as soon as I get my dress form finished I should be back up and running for myself. There are a few other things but I'll wait until I have pics for those.

Today I do have for you a hat. I made it using a pattern by Vegbee (find it here) which I scaled up to a bigger size. It's for a shepherd at the farm I go to hence the sheep :o)

The sheep fabric was a gift from the girl I'm making the dress for, the lining and interfacing were from the stash.

My Reversible SunHat

I was so proud making this. I'm working on a Custom Order from my shop.  I don't have a tutorial for this yet, but people are interested I could make one.  I've been MIA for a while because my youngest had the start of pneumonia, but she's getting better.  Thank, God!

My lastest creation:

Have a GREAT Wednesday!

Mocha Antlers Hat

Um.... I think having both kids on spring break is hazardous to my sense of maturity. Witness this week's hat. And I look like I'm enjoying it a little too much, when really I'm just sleepless and in a bit of a stupor. Spring break ends, though. Right? Please?

Here I am!

Thanks for doing this, and I'm glad to see such a strong response.

I'm pretty much a constant thriftshopper--it's cheap entertainment with my kids, and it's how I get raw materials for my art purses, so I can justify it (kinda). Recently one of our local shops had a ton of yarn, including a big bag of vintage Italian mohair--all "tangerine"--for $1.99. This hat was made from some of that, and from a skein of even brighter orange acrylic yarn I found at a yard sale. I've been wanting to play with hyperbolic crochet more, so.... I think this will be the start of my Halloween costume -- I'm planning another crocheted creation, like last year's garden, but this year I'm thinking "wearable coral reef." Stay tuned.
