Hello Needleworkers! I hope all of you are safe and happy today! What's on your hook? Have you done a lot of work so far? Have you hoarded stuffed for your needlework?
Have you thought of making some as a gift for this coming Christmas?
As for me, here is my latest work.
Last week, I was pretty sick. My cough was so dry and I feel like I had a fever but it was so much different. Sometimes I had to catch my breath especially when I am eating food or sleeping, but despite that I am still thankful that I am still alive.
But I still had to go to my workplace because I have a huge need for money to sustain my family's needs financially. Also, I felt like I had a huge responsibility and It would be the best thing if I do my work myself because I can keep track of it.
One morning, I took a commute to work. My long old friend saw me but I was not able to see them until Faith took my attention. We had a little chat and I asked them for a selfie. I did not have my hat on because it was soiled with dinner soup that my mother-in-law gave us. I was left with no choice but I planned on doing a crochet hat at my workplace.
By the way, I created two black crochet hats before this one because I really hate the AC that we have at work.
Crochet was the first thing that I did at my workplace because the cold from the AC felt like it was boring into my bones.
I decided to use my scrap yarns in this project since I really planned to declutter and empty the stash that I had so I could replace them with new ones, with better qualities.
The process was:
- making a magic ring
- I added 12 double crochets in the ring and fastened the end to make sure it won't slip out when I use it in the long run
- I increased 7 times, at the second round, I added two double crochets in each stitch that I made in the previous row. On the third row, I added an alternate of one and two double crochets in each of the previous stitches. As I increased, The amount of one double crochet before the two double crochets increased as the round that I am making increased too.
When I reached the desired diameter that I wanted, I stopped increasing and added double crochets in each of the previous stitches that I had until I obtained the desired height that can cover my head and ears.
Teh scrap yarns from the old unfinished projects that I once did, Since I am not really sure of what to do in the past as I lost the motivation to do so, I kept on creating something unusable. I untangled them and formed them into a ball thus teh color of my hat was different and does not fit all too well.
But it looked cute to me though don't you think so too?
I was not able to take pictures of every step that I made since I was in a rush to finish the hat.
First, I changed my phone's screen protector because it was really beaten out. My son punched the phone with a hammer and it git broken, fortunately, teh screen protector did its job and was good at it.
Then a little later, I was called to a meeting by the tollers since I had been raising my concern about teh invoices being returned too late; I kept reminding the in charge but he seems to be ( I don't know the word) but he keeps on doing what he did. so frustrating.
After making the hat, I went outside and bought food. I had a wonderful view of the mountain from afar.
Having a hat wrapped around my head feels so great. I feel safe from the cold and its' really comforting.
An idea came to me: I would be making hats for my loved ones and probably draw a lot for them at the Christmas party that will be held in teh company where I work for. It would be a wonderful idea to de-stash and make people around me happy, right?
