HATS HATS HATS
So, I bought a handi-stitch at Target, cannibalized a helpless fleece blanket I bought for my last plane trip, used this tutorial and made hats.

There are three and a half all together, but only two are shown here because the other one and a half... didn't make it. They stay in my room, out of the virgin sight on non-hatters.

Hat #2 was made with more care than hat #1, and included a bigger and wider brim (one because my head is big and I like my hats roomy, and two because I like the wider brims) and EARS.




The ears are kind of big and flop around, so I smooth them back like an angry cat's most of the time. After this hat, the fleece blanket was reduced to little more than wonky-shaped scraps of purpleness, so I went to the fabric store in Roseville. Because it's June and no one but me is making fleece hats, all fleece was on sale and I got a bunch for under ten dollars. Then I got home and made this:


(modeled by my mom, who was obviously very excited to be there.)

The pink bow is there to cover up the fact that I messed up on the brim and it was all twisty and sad. I also tried to make a present hat for a friend, but discovered that my handi-stitch can't handle everything I thought it could, and ended up with my half a hat (with falling-off ears).

and uh... that's how I've been spending my weekend. How about you?

EDIT: also I have a PSP because apparently I fooled Skittle into thinking I deserved one. IT IS MAH BABY.
