roaring twenties

Well spring has sprung .it  still.cold but  Sun is out  and I like to keep my projects seasonal

My new magazine came with its cover kit were six  small.balls of four ply  so I decided to make a 1920 cliche. Hats don't really suit me .but I loved this pattern on sight so  I set about it

Here it is

I love the colours  it reminds me of ice cream.

The brim blue is almost  ocean like. And  since it twenty eight days till my holiday . These memories made this hat fly off my hook 

Doesn't change the fact that when I am.wearing it I don't look any where near as good as the model but hey can't have every thing can you  

spring has sprung

 The nice thing with a craft like crochet is no matter what time of year there is a project for every occasion  . after all the storms we had to suffer this spring  in particular offer a new hope for better and hopefully warmer times. I like Easter for a number of reason and none surprisingly involve chocolate ( well much any way ) . The main reason I like it is we always go on holiday for Easter break as it usually falls on or near my middle child's birthday . Another reason I like it as my youngest child first present was a chicken and a rabbit  he has just turned ten and still has them to this day . He has a vast collection of chickens and rabbits he has added to over the years . The two pictured here will be added to his collection . I have no doubt they will be well loved.
