Little Hats

In November, I went to Colorado to help my sister while her husband was in Germany for business.  She has two little boys.  Since I was only able to come for part of the week, her mother-in-law, Mrs. L., came to help as well.   Mrs. L is a fellow knitter and crocheter.  Little did I know what was in store for me during my visit.  

While I was there, we made several outings into town.  I learned of tons of little restaurants and other great shops.  It was like having my own personal tour guide.  One day, Mrs. L took me to 2 different knitting shops.  The shops were so cute and very inspirational.  Since it was right before Christmas, you can only imagine all the cute displays.  The second place we went, the owner had great big mittens and stockings hanging from her trees.  Very cute and festive!!  Anyway, Mrs L. bought me this crochet kit for a hat.  I haven't done a whole lot of crocheting...I pretty much am a knitter, but thought I would venture out.  Mrs. L thought I could get the hang of it pretty quickly.  So, with many of my friends here in Memphis having babies, I thought I would make little hats for the newborns.  I think they turned out pretty well.  My second one was better than my first.  I think I did a better job on the flowers.  Here is a picture of the first one.  

Thanks Mrs. L for inspiring me to crochet.  I might even like it better than knitting, but don't tell anyone.
