Apparently Minions are 'IN' right now. My sister wants me to make Jordan a girly minion hat. I bought a pattern for this project, but reading over it I don’t like st count, its done in odd numbers and they have jagged color changes. So I will be tweaking the patter, just a itty bitty tiny lot. I think I will make the base hat a normal yellow beanie, then add a band for the eye and strap sepratly then add in all the girly details. It might take longer but I think it will look better then the patter I bought -,-
She also has a friend at work who wants 3 hats, piggie, owl, and a fox!
~~update~~
More hats requested!! I will also be making a Yoda and Leia!! I really hope I don't get my hats sizes mixed up I will have to make sure they all are pinned with a note or something.I have to run out and pick up a few supplies I am short on since I made all those toys I haven't restocked my stash and I am low on a few key colors.
I will be updating this post with my WIP (Works in progress) photos as I get started.

~~~~~~~~SIDE NOTE~~~~~~~~
Also a big thanks to Katie Board I finally got some Kahoot's comfort grips for my hooks! I am pretty sure these are the ones you recommended. I finally found them at a Hobby Lobby over here but they where well hidden and only had two in stock. I dont care much for the dark green I wish they had them in the bright purple color shown on the packaging but none the less I hope these help.These hat's will be the first projects that I get to use them on. Extra special thanks to Christine (my sis) who bought them for me!
Awww, I'm so glad you managed to find some grips, Sara :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully they'll make all the difference with the comfort of your hand, especially with all the orders rolling in! :)
I can't wait to see your owl hat, and girly Minion, finished :)
I am using a larger hook right now and it does seem to help. The true test is when I have to pull out a steel hook like my 2.25mm that I do the small toys in.
DeleteJust keep an eye on this post I am updating it with WIP shots. I didn't get much work in today because I took my husband to a comic convention I just need to make a beak and sew everything on to the base hat.
Good to see your success with your crochet/knitting. :)
