The evolution of a crocheter...

After that baby blanket, my crochet world pretty much opened up from there. I think I spent a few weeks going through various youtube videos looking for other projects. At the time, my niece's birthday was coming up and of course, I had to make her something. She is an avid owl lover. So, I turned to beanie making. :) 

In my search I came upon this video on how to crochet an owl beanie. I got busy making it. As I followed the instructions from the video (this gal is really good. you should follow her on youtube if you want to learn to crochet), I began to make mini adjustments here and there. This was the end product...

Shampoo bottles make good hat stands...

I felt it was pretty good for a first attempt although it was a little big for my niece. With the posting of the above pictures, I had friends lining up for one of their own. I was all too happy to oblige. With each owl beanie I was hoping to refine my technique and add other things (like ear flaps!). I felt somewhat successful in such endeavors...

Who?

More beanies to post in the next blog! Stay tuned...or flat...or sharp...as long as we all end up together on the same pitch...
