Citrus Hat

I love this hat! Great colors..I am not sure about he pictures my Sony camera exactly one month shy of a year stopped working. Of course I have the warranty but I have to mail away the camera and fill out all this paperwork and wait to be notified by the company before actually mailing it in. They have to send me an ok..Its a bunch of crapola! Sooo I had a gift card and went and purchased this Kodak easy share. (Not so easy) And I can honestly see the difference in pictures. Oh well it will work for now then the hubs can have this camera for fishing!

Found the picture!


I think I came pretty close!

The Mad Hatter!

Im in a hat mood! While in NJ My Mom was watching NJ Housewives (when in Rome) So while watching I spotted a housewife with a hat on...I could not stop thinking about this hat. I planned it out my whole plane ride home..I could not find a picture on the web. I came home same day came up with the grey hat. (I was using what I had as far as yarn) Something did not feel right. I like the hat but dont think that was the hat. After further searching I found the picture of the hat. The black hat is as close to it as I think Im going to get. These are my patterns in my head so I wont be able to link to them.. :0( I am so excited I am making more for our shop!
I love making hats..I love baby hats, you can whip one up in an hour instant gratification! These hats were such fun to make..Im on a roll.
