getting chunkier

Now, I’m not talking about my bodyshape which is definitely getting chunkier…….no, I’m talking about my crochet hats. I knew it was going to take me forever to refill my hat tree before Mathilda’s in Canberra this weekend and I just don’t have forever at the moment…….

hats for market

so I went chunkier with my wool and what a difference! Instead of doing 1 hat a night I’ve been getting 3 finished….yay! So now I will now have a full tree for Mathilda’s this weekend in Canberra!

my model

Well after I weave in the ends, make flowers and sew them on…of course! And here is my model making a fashion statement. She has taken to dressing herself on some mornings and today we are wearing a bolero by mummy, t-shirt by country road, russian doll skirt by mummy and barbie leggings with lace trim.

fashion statement

It was quite a combination teamed with her red shoes, but at least it’s one less person to get dressed in the morning! EDITED to add that I know everytime I post a picture of my hats you ask for the pattern! It’s still in my head and I adjust each size as I go – but since this is my last winter market for the year I might just have to write down the pattern for you – because I know I’ve said I would in the past!
