*NEW* Fun and Totally FAB Ski Hat











This pattern is available for purchase in either my Etsy Shop, Ravelry or right here on my blog (just click on BUY NOW). Pattern will be emailed to you within 24 hours of receiving payment.

I had SOOOOO much fun designing this hat and I've made quite a few of them in the past week. I can't help myself. I have to keep trying different color combination's and yarns. So far my favorite ones are the ones I have included in this post.

This pattern has 7 cables running down it with 2 cables running right down through the ear flap. By using a darker main color (MC), a lighter contrasting color (CC)and my pattern you can create some beautiful and eye catching hats for anyone you know or yourself.

Materials:
Approx. 3 ounces Worsted Weight yarn of choice main color (MC)
Approx.2 ounces Worsted Weight yarn of contrasting color (CC)
“H” crochet hook (for smaller size use “G” hook)
Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends
7 Stitch Markers or small scrap pieces of yarn

If you have any questions regarding this design or would like one of these snazzy hats created just for you please leave a comment and I'll get back to you ASAP.

X's and O's Cross Stitch Brimmed Hat



Ok. There's my newest design thingy. I don't have a pattern for it yet but I think I'm gonna wait a bit to write one up. I have it listed on Etsy. I'm really hoping it sells soon. Hours have been cut at work and I could really use the extra cash.

Right now I'm working on a new design that involves pineapples and headware. It's gonna be sooooo cute. I'll share a pic as soon as it's done. :-D

As far as work and life goes. It's just rolling right along. The days are flying by sooooo fast I can hardly believe it. It seems like as soon as I wake up it's time to go back to bed again. Yikes.

Oooooo, I'm getting a new (used) car soon. I'm so excited. Now if I could just remember the year and brand of the car. :-) I have one last payment to make on it and it's mine. It's really stretched me tight but it will be worth it. My old buick ('86, Century) died on me about a month or two ago so I've been using my BF's car and walking to work. I live close so it's not a huge deal. It's just really cold outside so it can be uncomfortable. Oh well. I've lived around the cold and snow my whole life so I'm pretty used to it.

Well, I've got about 5 hours till I head to work so I'm gonna work on my newest design and browse the internet a little till Andrew gets home.

Have a great day ya'll and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
