funny dodge. i just finished crocheting a beret. but it won't fit you, it's for a doll. i'll post a picture in a minute!

ok, dodge. here you go


only i had planned it to be a beret, it got turned into a tam. seemed to fit the mood better.

not making any more though, got baby blankets to make now for women at work having babies.

That turned out cute, Jiffy.
You ought to pick up a hook and learn to crochet, Barb. then you could be thoroughly warm and fashionable.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

awesome Jiffy.........Your a good crocet artist.

Jonni ........I do crochet , but got lazy and thought someone would off me a black one for the jacket I just bought..

LOL

Arent I a moocher?

I would try but you wouldn't wear it. That's a good site though.

Last time I crochet was almost 7 years ago,

I had to set on the couch an heal and did my best work. Think I have one doily left....I will have to show it . Later

I like the site too.. One of my local friends sent it ..

I love wearing berets. I really might try to make me one.

I have crocheted for 37 years hats are my specialty. I can do a beret in a couple of hours.

show off. Bird berets?

Here is as picture of me in one of the black berets that I crocheted a couple of years ago.





Please don't "BERATE" me for the quality.

Cute Tam Jiffy. Your hands must be feeling lots better since you are crocheting blankets once again? How many do you need to make for the women at work?

sHERI

WHAT color would you make? Yellow?

I have to do my own, cause I have a big head......My eyedoctor said that.
I dont use him anymore....He had a big wallet.

I have to keep trying it on ..
Good job there Thorn..........I didnt know men to do it .

I used a "K" hook and worked in Half-Double crochet. I started out with a ring of 10 HDC and increased ten HDC's each round making a giant flat circle, Then, I decreased 10 each round until I reached my head size. Then, working in the SIDE post of each HDC I worked even for about 5 rounds until I had a 1 inch band at the bottom. That's all there is to it. You can work in multiple colors, changing colors as you see fit to get interesting results. Easiest hat I ever designed.

cool thorny. when i get a free minute, i might try this.

thanks for asking about the hands lynne. it is hit and miss. but when i am riding in the car with scott, crochet (or reading or whatever) is a defense mechanism. i don't complain if i can't see how he's driving because i'm focused elsewhere!

there are 2 pregnant women at work, and 2 in lion's club. i just use what ever size hook will fit in my hands at the time (the more swollen the hands are, but bigger the hook) and work at a slower pace if the hands are bad. but, even when they were their worst, and i couldn't even hold a hair brush, the way i hold my crochet hook didn't hurt if i had a large enough hook weird i know. but i have to say, i'm glad i didn't lose everything. i'd go crazy if i couldn't do anything any more. i've had to give up way too much as it is.

And that is funny because a crochet hook is something I have to give up when my hands are at their arthritic worst. But I can still clutch and pull weeds or use a trowel carefully.

Thanks thorn.

I copied that down....I will see how the other works also.

One winter day ..

Now now now Sheri,,Just trip him...............

Its only make beleive.

nah, i just pick at him when he gets (or almost gets) a ticket and i haven't had one in years... that works for me.

There is a knitting site called "Ravelry" - you have to sign up for it - it's free, but I got these there and there were many more. The others can only be gotten if one is a member.
