Project: Hats

This hat was my first, and it was in attempts to learn how to crochet. I checked out the book Crocheting for Dummies and just started reading.  They had this project of cloche hat, and I let my little hook guide me to this beauty, I did however add the flower later, another project in the CfD book.  My sister absolutely thought this was cute, so I was able to crochet 2 more hats for her little girls, I'd say it was a good project for me, b/c I was doing this during Conf. and it kept me alert. : )
Do not think that since it's been so long since I've posted a project that I've been doing nothing...oh, no!  I've crocheted 2 teddy bears, and 2 bags.  While I was in one of my most favorite stores, (JoAnn) I noticed project sheets on the wall, in March-b/c March is craft month! And this is the beginning of a beautiful thing.  I've discovered FREE PATTERNS! and better yet, I can READ these patterns, so I've become an avid surfer of a few websites, feel free to browse these.  http://www.joann.com/ http://www.hobbylobby.com/ http://www.redheart.com/ http://www.coatsandclark.com/ http://www.lionbrandyarn.com/ Usually every 2 weeks JoAnn's has a 40% off 1 reg. priced item coupon in their flyer, I pick this up in the store and I buy me a skein of yarn for less than $2, and I'll browse their clearance section,  I'm just gonna warn everyone that reads this...I will probably NEVER buy another card to give away as a Happy Something Wish! Instead you're getting a handmade card, (not the best, but thought, time, and love went into the card; so LIKE IT!).  I bought black yarn yesterday...and right now a bag or two are crying out of this skein! I can't wait!!
