My trip to the hospital for pre-testing was rewarded with a hospital rummage sale in the atrium! I happily picked up this nice Nine West hat for a dollar and...
65 spools of Gutterman and Meltler brands (high-quality) sewing thread for just $13.00, thank you VERY much! Each spool is a different, glorious color! In case you don't know, the thread is worth at least $130.00, new. Only a few of them have been used at all. SCORE!
My Mr. Acorn Hat was featured on DigitFace.com. He is French. He likes to help me make Yarny Acorn Favors. (Tutorial in my Vox collections and in my Flickr sets. (RecycleMicol user ID)

Here it is...better late than never! I took these yesterday, but I'm finally getting around to post them. My dear Craftster.org friend Jane of Glorious Hats made this fascinator and sent it to me! What a gal! She also sent me a darling Kumihimo Braiding Kit. It's primo. I'm having such fun with it! I'll post pictures of it another day.
I think this photo looks like a share-cropper's wife waiting on the kids to pile in the back of the pick-up truck, headed to an Ice Cream Social or something. I felt like I should have had clip-on or the screw-on type of earrings for this photo, as that's what they mostly wore back in my Great-Grandmother's day when they'd get gussied up in their 'Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes.
It's hot as the blazes today...and this hat just doesn't provide any shade! Ha, go figure. It's not a hat at all, but a basket that I started (and stopped) weaving months ago! I just like being silly.

My back yard.
Big sunglasses and a vintage hat.
A little color-tweaking for the retro 1960's magazine look.
Sometimes I wear a wig when I go out. You know...to avoid the throngs of fans who want an autograph.
Just kidding.

Oh...I made the hat last year, but I have not applied the fur trim yet.
I was just about to destash this yarn when I found a group contributing handmade items to our local hospital nurseries. The hospitals require easy-to-launder yarn, so most charity work given is acrylic.
This is a newborn baby pattern, free from Bev’s Country Cottage, called the On The Road Again Hat. Here’s the link: www.bevscountrycottage.com/bevs-baby-set1.html
The pattern calls for a cast on of 70, however, I used dpns and had a double-wide rib at the end of the round when I do this. I would cast on 72 or 68 to make the ribs come out right IF YOU decide to use dpns or circular needle only! If you seam it like the instructions say (doh!) you will not have a problem! I obviously did not even read the instructions clearly enough. Now I’m only going to do the hat…as the mitts and booties are seamed as well, and I prefer to do them in the round.

My friend Brenda brought the hat that I knitted for her to our Fiber Therapy group so that I could get a photo of it.
It's the Robin's Egg Blue Hat by Rachel Iufer. I used yarn that I recycled from an Abercrombie and Fitch Sweater Coat.
