OnlyDaughter crocheted me a new hat for these cold days. She knows that I spend a lot of time outdoors, and she was so sweet to crochet this heavy wool-blend hat especially for me. I do not knit or crochet, although I've tried, and I so appreciate the love and time that goes into making something by hand. OnlyDaughter used two strands of yarn in gray and green to crochet a tightly woven hat. I'm not so good with the camera on my new phone, but hey, I did it! Isn't it a pretty hat?
This was the day that I walked into with the new hat pushed hard on my head. The wind howled and the snow blew and blew all day long. I only went out for a quick trip to the chicken coop and back, and honestly, that was quite enough. I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow.
(holding a long note in G) The........................sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar there'll be sun! (I hope so!)
Your daughter has made a lovely, practical hat for these cold days.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you--I'd heard it's been waaaay cold up your way. Here, it's 25 degrees, and that feels way cold to us. Wish I had your hat--it's fab!

I love that hat. It looks so cold, just like Laura wrote in about in The Long Winter.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you live in a nice warm house. I was gathering eggs and thinking about yours freezing when it gets so cold.
I am glad you didn't have to stay out in it.
Weather reports say that we'll look like this next week. I'm a bit excited! haven't tried the crochet with two yarns, though would love to make the tea cozy whose pattern I've seen in just such a technique...
ReplyDeleteJust in time for that lovely hat! Only daughters are pretty sweet. Hope the sun will come out tomorrow in your neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteOh sweet...what a great hat. And Jody, I really like your hair, too, with those pretty curls and perfect shade of gray highlights. You are one of those lucky women. I am still not sure how my gray will do but I'm thinking it is not going to be as pretty as yours.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely hat, made with joy and love and sure to keep you warm. Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteCute AND practical! :) xx
ReplyDeletePretty hat, but the model is even prettier!
ReplyDeleteOur day today looks like the day in your picture -- blowing snow and I love it (of course, I can say that as I watch it from the window LOL). Love the new hat -- very pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just LOVE that hat. The colors and everything! :-) The weather? It looks horribly freezing cold! :-) - Dori - (Did the sun come out the next day?!)
ReplyDeleteHa! We can sing along and hope with Annie :) The hat is very nice. Using two strands is a good way to get added thickness and warmth. I'm amazed that you've tried knit/crochet, and haven't had success! You would seem a natural, to me! But you're stitchery work is more beautiful, I think. Stay warm -- we have a cold, wet, blustery day here, but to you I imagine it would feel like a warm spring day :)
