Crochet! Just because I can

Cross-posted to my own journal

So, I switched gears a little bit from my usual hodge-podge of crafts (namely, quilting. And I'm still trying to work the kinks out of those stupid fabric flowers... but I'm getting there. Using ribbon instead of fabric seems to help) and crocheted a hat. And now the hubby wants one. And a friend's boyfriend wants one. So it looks like I'll be making hats for the forseeable future. Oh, well. It'll be something to keep my hands busy as the hubbs and I finish watching the Star Trek movies... :) I ended up using a yarn that I'd been saving for awhile. I picked it up sometime last year (I honestly can't remember when) and I wanted to save it for something special. I think it came out looking pretty nice. I snagged the pattern from a friend, who found it here

I love it. Great colours and it looks good on you.

Thank you! I tend to like the earthy colors and with the exception of a little bit of blue, this fits the bill perfectly!

I really like the top texture with the spoke ribs.

Also, you managed to photograph your own head, if that counts as poor camera skill? I'm thinking the rest of us have very little hope.

Haha, I've had lots of practice. I had waist-length hair at one point... and I became very good at getting photos of the back of my head. Ask me to photograph anything else, however... and all my skills go out the window! :)
