Here is a photo of Zoe’s hat that I made her a few weeks back. I was really impressed with it. It was the first thing I’ve really crocheted. I mean I did make a hat back in 2004 or 2005 but I really didn’t know what I was doing. This time I read up on exactly what it was I should be doing and voila.
I also made a black hat that Zoe has hidden somewhere in the house and I cannot find it now. It was supposed to be for me but it doesn’t fit. So now its collecting dust.
I’m also in the progress of finishing a hat for Stephanie.
It was supposed to be a surprise but she saw the yarn and I really couldn’t tell her I was using the purple multicolored yarn for myself.
Two great things on a cold wet night. Homemade chili complete with tomato juice from last seasons crop of ‘maters, and a frosty. The chili was excellent. Stephanie whipped it up while I went to pick up Zoe from her Mimi and Papa’s house. The frosty is 2 Below. A seasonal winter ale from my favorite brewery, New Belgium. A small brewery located in Fort Collins, Colorado. They don’t ship anything east of the Mississippi River. My all time favorite from their selection is the famous Fat Tire. And for those looking for a sustainable brew, try Mothership Wit, the organic wheat beer. It’s not my favorite list though, as it’s a bit on the citrus side.
Below are a couple of photos from last weeks epic Blizzard of 2009. It was gone 10am. Zoe had never seen snow before and she was opening her mouth trying to eat it. Silly girl.

Yummmmmy! That chili looks wonderful! I can do without that beer, yewwwy. Zoe will love to build a snowman someday. You may have to take her someplace else to find enough snow to build it.
Hats are pretty easy, just knowing to increase every row for the first million rows and then finding a good stabilizing point. I try them on as I go.
Love the one with Zoe in it!
What pattern did you use?
The pattern in my head.
Well then!
That’s what I do, but I didn’t know if you used a specific one for babies.
