Happy New Year wonderful crafters of the world. I do hope all is enjoying the New Year.

This one is a chain of 78, and brim is 31 |
I know that I haven't posted in a few months as life got busy. I have been homeschooling my son which hasn't always been an easy feat. I am hoping that this year I can be more active in posting new crafts to try. My first of the year is going to be a crocheted item. And I am going to be posting it below as my welcome to a New Year gift.
I have been thinking of what I could make. I do know that last year the messy bun hat was in style. Personally I don't understand that at all but I was never one for wearing my hair up on top of my head. So for my first pattern I am going to make an ear warmer that will work great for messy buns. It shall cover your ears, Shield your eyes, and you can easily wear your hair up. Are you ready. I will only be posting one size on this blog. I will be doing up more sizes which will be published on my Ravelry store. There will also be a video for those that do better with visual.
Here we go!
