This is my own little soapbox. Disclaimer: It is not written by someone you think you know, but by her evil twin. Absolutely nothing said here is true. Everything, including the last statement, is a complete work of fiction. This blog is completely boring, and includes entries on when I last washed my dishes, how many pairs of socks I've crocheted, and the occasional rant. These are not the droids you're looking for. Move along.

Tapestry Crochet Hat
I finished up the crocheting last night, all that's left is weaving in a few ends. (The red hat on the right is one I bought several years back.)
Three balls of yarn was exactly right: (Unless C wanted a wider brim... but I think it's fine.)
Since it was nearly 11pm when I finished, I modelled the hat while wearing my sexy, sexy pajamas:
oh wow! Tapestry crochet. Someday I'd like to try that. I like yours better than the one you purchased. Very good job. And your pj's are totally sexy. lol. They're just like mine. : )
Very nice! Tapestry crochet is something I keep telling myself I should try. What yarn was it (I'm sorry if you mentioned it somewhere and I missed it!) and what pattern?
The yarn is, um... let me grab a label. It's Estelle Young Touch Cotton DK. It's splitty as all get-out, but that actually seems to have made it perfect for tapestry crochet, since it hid the yarn being carried very well. It has something like twelve plies, where each ply is itself two-ply.
The pattern is my own. Given that I made it for an elongated head, I'm guessing it's not quite the right shape for the average person. I can give you a chart for the waves... the rest is pretty basic and/or didn't have a chart.
