Entering Hat Pattern for New Storey Publishing Book
June 24, 2011 by debi.
It has been a crazy week, trying to get all of my projects done. I just made a new hat out of a really fun yarn called Magic Ball. It is so pretty and fun. I am not posting a picture yet, because I am sending it to Storey Publishing, along with the pattern for their new book 101 One Skein Crochet Patterns. I am hoping that they pick this new hat pattern for one of the patterns for the book. It would be really wonderful, if I could get this pattern published. I am also going to be working on some other patterns to send in. Wish me luck.

I love when I can just sit and create things. I seem to get bogged down, when I actually have to finish things. I am still trying to get to the skirt and 2 camisoles to finish and post online. I love the knitting part and I love seeing the finished items, I just wish I had a little elf who would come and sew them all together. I like to sew, I just love knitting and crocheting more.This week has also been busy trying to get boxes packed and sent to my son. He is in Afghanistan for his second tour in Marjah. There are always things that they think they have, and then they get there and realize that they need additional items, like shampoo, socks, food, you know necessities!!! This time should be a much safer tour, and it makes a mom feel much better.I think that it will be next week before I get the camisoles and skirt put together. This weekend is my 17th wedding anniversary with my wonderful husband, so I will actually get to play with him for the weekend, always a fun thing. Tomorrow we are going to dinner at Mataam Fez in Denver for dinner. The memorial weekend that I came to visit and see the house before we got married, we went there, so it will be a wonderful trip down memory lane. It has been a restaurant that we have gone to many times in the past for special occasions. The food is always good, and the entertainment is fun.
3 Tips for Summer Accessories.
1. On cool nights you can use lightweight hand knit scarves or wraps instead of a sweater to warm you up. There are some really pretty ones out there.
2. A hand crocheted clutch or an over a small over the shoulder bag are great ways to add color, texture, and unique style to any outfit, whether day or evening.
3. Summer beanies and cotton lace hats are great for after a day at the beach. They cover your beach hair, which if anything like mine needs to be covered desperately, until I can wash it. There are also some cute hats out that can be worn at the beach to keep the sun off of your face.
Enjoy and experiment with your style.
