yay for crochet!

so about a year ago, i bought a pattern for a crocheted hat from
this lovely lady, having never before picked up a crochet needle.
i tried teaching myself the art of crochet via youtube videos, but after many failed attempts, i gave up.

a few months ago, i visited said lovely lady in chicago
and she taught me the art she has so beautifully mastered :)

i just finally got around to finishing the hat tonight, and though it is certainly not perfect,
i just love it!
it has a bow on it!
i most definitely have a weakness for bows.
if you haven't yet, you must visit the etsy shop of the lovely lady who provided this pattern,
ms. (soon-to-be-mrs.) lindsey, of hooked on crochet.

this girl has mad crocheting skills.
she crochets anything from hats, scarves & mittens, to baby bibs (SO cute!), purses & coasters.
her pieces are vibrant with lovely, feminine details (like scalloped edges ). 
 added bonus: they are also extremely affordable.

i heart them all, but here are just a few of my favorites:
 
 
 
pink confetti brooch (no shipping!)
 
sweet as honey purse

So it does help to have a lesson then? I want to teach myself. I hate making other people wait around while I practice and practice.

Your hate is cute...love the bow!
