The 12th Crocheter: Seahawks Crochet Hats

Posted on October 7, 2017April 29, 2018 by melissa

A couple of weeks ago, Stephen asked if I could crochet a Seahawks hat or scarf for his son’s birthday. I said that I would love to and he brought home some navy, green, and gray yarn. The next 12 days saw the construction of a cabled hat, two matching color twisting beanies, several puff-stitch flowers, and a stripey flowered hat. I had so much fun!! In today’s post, I’m going to walk through my two weeks of engaging in Seahawks crochet, rave about the patterns I used, and share how I used color to show everyone how we are a Seahawks family.

Works In Progress: 5 Reasons for Abandonment

I have a box of secret shame in my craft room. This box is full of good intentions that met various life obstacles. It contains a tangle of gorgeous yarn and half finished projects. You guessed it: it is my works in progress box. Over the years, it has grown from a small basket, to a basket and a bag, and then to a basket, a bag, and an IKEA Lekman bin. I call them “works in progress,” but let’s be real: I have not worked on most of them for years. They are not in progress. They are abandoned. Works in abandonment.
