Fun new hat!

It is not very often that I will buy a crochet pattern, but when I can't get something out of my mind for a couple of days I tend to cave.  This is one of those times.  A few days ago I saw a fb post for a really fun looking hat.  I tried to talk myself out of buying the pattern, I really did, but when I saw that there was a sale on the pattern I couldn't stop myself!  How can you pass up a sale?!
This is what I spent most of yesterday working on.

New hat.  Pattern by: Hooked in Yarn

Yep.  3 hats in one day.  It's not often that I am given that kind of time by my kids, but when I told them they could have what I was working on they were a bit more patient with me.  These are great in team colors!  (that is my orange and blue OKC Thunder hat.  THUNDER UP!)  I love the striped affect in the hat.  How pretty would this be in pink and purple?!  My daughter would LOVE that. 
These hats have a fun little surprise.  They have a great reverse pattern.  This is the hat inside out:

Reverse side

How fun is that?!  2 very unique looks in one hat.  It's not very often that the inside of a hat looks as good as the inside.
The solid color hat is just as fantastic!  It has a wonderful texture.  I find the texture very fun.  So much more interesting that the typical HDC or DC that is usually seen.  I love that it's not just ribbed, but an actual texture throughout the hat.

Solid color. 

All in all, I am VERY happy that I broke down and paid for a pattern.  I think this is the best buy that I have had in a long time.  I now have my eyes on another hat pattern of hers AND she has another item coming out in THIS pattern.  I can't wait to see it!!!

Yay Autumn!

This is by far my favorite time of year.  At least it is back home.  It is still in the 90's in OK.  :( 
Not only am I excited that it is Autumn, I am excited because this is my busy time. 
I haven't gotten a whole lot written up in the last week because I have been working on orders.  I think my best seller right now is a Mummy Hat.  I was lucky enough to get in as a tester for the pattern! 

Mummy Hat.  Pattern by: Mamachee
Finished hat made by me is available on Etsy!

Isn't that hat great?!  I wish I had thought up the pattern.  Mamachee has some great patterns.  I have a number of them and plan on getting more.  :)

I am trying to work on some Christmas patterns.  I have some ideas written out and can't wait to work them up! 
I hope you are all enjoying much cooler temps that I have been having. 
If there is something that you are hoping to see a pattern for, let me know!  I am always looking to add to my library!

Shell Headband

As promised, I finished the pattern last night.  I really like this headband.  It turned out super cute.  I will be working on a teen/adult pattern, soon.  Enjoy!

G hook
Worsted weight yarn.  I used "I love this yarn"
2 Buttons
Scissors
Yarn Needle

What I've been working on.

Well, here it is.  There are a couple of adjustments that I think I need to make, but over all I am very happy with it.  My daughter is thrilled and won't take it off for me to adjust.  LOL 

I think it turned out to be more of a 2t length, rather than 3t. 

Tonight I will be working on a new headband pattern.  I can't wait to get it finished!

Back to the grind.

We had a very fun weekend.  We took the kids to the local Six Flags park and they had a BLAST!  I don't know what is more fun, going as a kid or going as a parent watching your kids.  Truly one of my favorite days ever. 
I have been busy working on a couple of orders, so the next pattern has been delayed just a bit.  I had one 90% finished and while looking it over I saw that it could be turned into something completely different!  Such is the life.  :)  I can't wait to show it off.  I don't know if I will be writing up the pattern to this newest item, but I will definitely have a new free pattern posted by the end of the week.
Have you worked up any of my free patterns?  Leave a comment on my feedback tab.  I would LOVE to hear from you. 
I hope everybody is enjoying the last few days of summer!

Free Adult Crochet Pumpkin Hat Pattern

              ADULT Crochet Pumpkin Hat Pattern

The adult hat is identical to this, only bigger.  (of course)

Ask and ye shall receive!
Last week I had a blog visitor ask me if I had an adult size pattern for my Pumpkin hat.  For some reason I hadn't thought of writing one.  I am so glad that it was asked!  Over the weekend I sat down and wrote up the pattern.  I hope you like it!  Now my daughter and I will have matching hats for the Pumpkin Farm in October!  She is just tickled pink that I have the same hat as she does.  :)

Post Holiday

How was your Labor Day Weekend?  I hope everybody had a relaxing weekend.
Our weekend wasn't much different than most weekends.  Unfortunately, I didn't get nearly as much done as I had hoped.  Somehow the weekend just flew by.   
Tomorrow is back to the grind.  My oldest goes back to school, which means I have to set my alarm.  :(
I plan on tomorrow being picture day.  I need new pictures of a few items, so I can get them listed on Etsy.  I need to start refocusing on selling.  It's hard to work with yarn and think of hats and scarves when it is still over 100 degrees.  I have to get started though! 

3 Layer Crochet Flower

This is my go-to flower pattern.  I use the flowers on hats, bags, hair clips, and so much more.  They look great on the new water bottle Kozies, and coffee Kozies, too!

I find that cotton works best for Kozies, though there are some great colors out there that I just can't get in cotton.  This first Kozie is made of cotton.  I love the purples and greens!
