Taking a Break from all the Purses


By the time I got done with those purses I needed a break. In Portable Crochet was a pattern for a cute baby hat with popcorn stitches around it, and I wanted to try making popcorn stitches. I had a skein of crayon-colored variegated chenille baby yarn in my stash. Hmm, fate? Or precognition? Then I saw the neighbors carry their newborn son into the house. Aha! Babies need hats! I was off and hooking away. When it was finished it was so cute--but way too big for a newborn. Luckily I remembered the toddler daughter of David's friend, so I delivered it to her and got to spend an hour coloring on a rose covered front porch. Can't smoke around babies, you know. Down to 15 cigs/day.
