The Daily Hailey

Today I did something I haven’t done in quite a while. I crocheted!

I used to crochet a lot, and considered many times trying to sell my stuff, but all of a sudden lots of people around e started selling their wonderful crocheted creations and they were way better than me! And more ambitious I suppose. So I decided to just keep my crafts within family and friends. If someone wanted something, I would just make it for them. I love crocheting!

The toque I made Brady two years ago has stretched out a lot and I’ve been thinking he needs a new one anyway. I’ve always preferred to create from my head instead off from a pattern. However, I think that is probably just from my insecurity of not understanding patterns very well. I’ve never crocheted something from a pattern and had it turn out perfect, or even really nice. However, I found a neat pattern and decided to give it a go. I didn’t show Brady the pattern in advance. I have this silly worry that I’ll screw it up and he’ll laugh at me. Which he wouldn’t. But still, I doubt I’m the only person that feels that way sometimes. So I hid the pattern and crocheted in my lap while we watched TV from two separate chairs so he couldn’t see it very closely. Guess what. It turned out!

Pretty cool, right? I was super happy with how it turned out, and so is Brady. Might make a matching one for Dekker.

Toques anyone? Scarves? Anything? Yes I know, a shameless plug for myself.
