going a bit hat mad.....I was supposed to be in uni working today but then a trip to the post office turned into one to the skip, then turned into a trip to the second hand store, into me buying a new ice cream machine and needing to bring it home. So I did. then I thought I should make myself some lunch and catchup on tv while I ate it, so I did. Before I knew it it was no longer 1pm but ....well........23:37 according to my laptop.......and I had watched about 9 episodes of various things and crocheted one and a half hats. But now all I want to do is crochet more hats! They're so much fun! And so quick! and I have sooooooooooooooooooooo much yarn!

lets see the results then  If you are designing as you go, why not write up the patterns too, always fun to see something you designed out in the big wide world.

Indeed; your hats will be keeping your bonce warm for years after a hat made from a Degree certificate had gone all soggy and smelly. |

Crochet is great isn't it! I'm tempted to try crocheting a pheasant for my Dad. | ||

Make a super big one and felt it down in the washer - even more windproof !

Lol! You truly are obsessed aren't you? I would absolutely love to make a felted hat. I've found some stunning patterns online. I just have a LOT of non-animal yarn that I need to work my way through before I can justify buying yet more yarn! I'll post pics of my pretty new hat when I get home. I'm still in the office.

Some of those are a bit tenuous. (And billiard tables are covered in baize, not felt.)
