Jellyfish Hat

-

 

I absolutely loved making this twisted piece of colorful fun! It is a masterpiece of curly, cute craziness, all thanks to a great pattern, Twisted Jellyfish, from an amazing creator, The Twisted Hatter.  She is a crochet genius, and I am obsessed with her work. I first learned about her twisted genius pieces from my friendly friend at the Salty Stitchery (who is another creative genius in crochet), like a starting chain of sharing nerdy crochet inspirations. Crochet Gawking.  I love this community of creators! 

Look at those curls! 🤩 I love making curls, and this pattern introduced me to a couple of new techniques for widening them, plus making them do curly variations, and embellishing them with edges and fun options. I do have a longtime love affair going on with colorful curls. To me, a swirly curl is a fun variation on my first love, The Ruffle Monster. 😎 I am so happy to have learned a few new tricks about this technique for ruffle lovers.  😍

Love this pattern! Check it out: Twisted Jellyfish There is an inner beanie, which supports all the curls. And the outer hat has all the texture and shape to the whole piece. The curls do make it kind of heavy on the one side, but that is part of the fun in wearing it. Like an awesome wig. 

Now I want to make more of these hats, in other color schemes. Imagine this in a red & black variation. Or purple & gold. So many possibilities, so cool to think about. Me and a bunch of nerdy friends, getting together wearing our jellyfish hats in all different colors. 😂

Yes, that's me, wearing a jelly fish hat. I'm looking so dead serious there, because this is serious business. 😆 I do love a good silly hat, and here is the proof: silly hats, more silly hats, and swamp hats.

A jelly fish hat along with Christmas decorations? Maybe too much going on there. 😆

Almond Butter

  I absolutely love how pretty this little scarf turned out! It is just so sweet and simple, I want to make a million more just like this . 😄 I love everything about it: the color is so natural, the shape is sturdy but soft, and the whole look and feel of it is practical, pretty, and just plain fabulous. 🤩 Nothing fancy here, just my same fave simple mesh pattern, that I first described here: original post from the mists of time . Not too big, and no fluffy ruffle, just a bit of easy fringe, and a wonderful earth-toned color that sometimes looks toasted golden, and in certain light looks almost creamy. I love it when a simple color isn't so simple. 😍   I've had a long term love affair with earth tones, and I'm obsessed with natural colors, and I will never stop feeling passionate about these delish flavors. 😆  Carmel Mocha Chocolate and Wine Earth Tones Sand Sparkle Comfy Cozy I thought that Almond Butter is the perfect name for this color, although "honey whea...

Peachy Purse

  I'm completely in love with the newspaper , Crochet Nation . 😍 I made this little peachy purse starting with their pattern instructions for the "Fringe Clutch," issue 2, page 4. With a few of my own experimental modifications. Because, you had me at fringe. 😄 But, then I decided it was not enough fringe. 😎 Thank you, Crochet Nation , for the inspiration, and for being awesome. 😘 As you can see below, and in the Peachy Purse folder, my final product is just a rough draft. It needs some blocking, and next time maybe some closer attention to stitch counts, plus I think a little bit more fringe. 😆 Still, not bad for a quick whip-it-up piece that is just cute as a button and sweet as a peach.  I am obsessed with fringe'y purses. Here's a whole folder of Dazzly designs , with all their silly sparkle and fringe'y fun. I love playing in the Dazzly space. (Thanks, Jean, for introducing it to me!) Because I love thinking about crocheting a real world version of ...
