thumb hats

new 002, originally uploaded by ladiestardust.

I've been crocheting spirals (because I'm hoping to crochet them all together into a big hat). But I'm not particularly great at crocheting and I've never really crocheted in a spiral before -- so I'm trying to practice a bit before I use my nice yarn.

My practice circles have all, one by one, turned into what I call "thumb hats" -- tiny curled in domes that fit over your thumb. I have a lot of these little things, in various sizes, and I've been putting them in interesting places on different "heads."

This is my first one -- a tiny hat for my sister's turtle box.

I really like this pic of me putting the hat on the turtle box (see entry below). I like the way my arm looks and the way I'm backlit.

I normally don't like the way I look in pics, but I like this one (strangely enough) so I thought I'd post it.

I will discontinue pic-spamming your friends list now.
