NEW HAT!!!

I couldn't stop last night... once i started, it was too exhilerating... my new hat. I was up until nearly 1:30 (that's really late for me these days! Especially now that I'm waking up around seven). So, here it is! I love the stitch for the main part of it--very cool. Never would have thought it up on my own, I don't think.






this back of the hat has a little gathering (it ended up being just a little too big on account of not using the right yarn/hook for the pattern. I like the little stitches of this anyway!) , but I think it totally works with the hat! If I wanted, I could crochet a flower since this is kinda a flapper hat!... kinda. I am sooo thrilled!

In other news, my finger doesn't hurt, but I don't know what will happen to the nail. It's still all bruised like underneath the nail. the rest of the finger healed though. Since its run in with the door, I have heard several horror stories about finger ouches getting infected. So, I suppose I'm lucky!

Well, I'm running late as it is.

Busted!

It seems as though a temporary haiatis is required at this time. I busted my right index finger, important in both typing and crocheting, and nearly everything else I do in a day. School also just started back up so I've got new things taking up my time. I really want to make sure I keep up with my crocheting and this blog though. I have plans for making a shawl/poncho like thing with the yarn I brought home from Christmas. Today I am going to clean my room, which will include organizing my yarns and fabrics and everything else. I'm also suffering from a bit of a cold, oddly it is also a consequence of my busted finger. (Long story--Finger busts, lots of running and screaming, run out of my room with nothing, out in the icy cold, lonely streets with just a t-shirt and jeans). That pretty well sums it up. I just hope after all is done and said, I don't lose my finger nail... that's what is still sore and throbbing!

Well, that about sums things up for awhile!
