Self Portrait Sunday: New hat!
Posted by Alli on December 24, 2007
I tried to take several self portraits today, but this one was the only one I was remotely happy with. I took it at church and really wanted the stained glass window in the background to show up. But it really wasn’t meant to be. I could only capture myself looking cute. Oh well, you will have to live and leave me comments that I do look really cute. Especially in this hat!
See, this picture is also useful to catch up on the Online Craft Club. The hat I am wearing is a new one I made this week. Thursday I bought some yarn and a J hook at Wal-Mart, sat down in the nail salon and started making the rounds. My mom was getting her nails done, so I started this hat while I waited. I had an interesting conversation with one of the employees who was asking me about how I hold my hook. I guess I need to get someone to take a picture of that, since I have had more than one person notice I hold my hook differently.
The hat fits me well and covers my ears- two things important to me. I have sensitive ears and a big head, so making myself hat is really the easiest thing to do to meet those needs. I’m happy I got it done in about two days, and have moved on to making the matching scarf.

Very cute hat!! And it’s like me trying to get a picture in front of the Christmas tree… I usually end up looking like I have a tree growing out of my head.
