Someone (whose first name starts with the letter B) didn’t tell me that grandma wanted new crochet beanies for Christmas. I found out on Christmas day when grandma mentioned it. I asked Brian about it that night before bed.<\/p>\n

ME:<\/strong> Why didn’t you tell me?<\/p>\n

BRIAN: <\/strong>I only found out on Friday. I didn’t think you would have time to make one.<\/BIG><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyway, I felt really bad so I decided to get right on it during my short break from work over the holidays. Amazingly enough, I was able to complete one hat in about four hours. Not bad for a novice. <\/p>\n

I was so impressed with myself that I decided to make another one the next day. <\/p>\n

Here are pics of the two beanies I made. <\/p>\n

Brian delivered the beanies to grandma while I was teaching my New Year’s Eve Zumba class and he took photos for me. He said she really liked them which makes me super happy. <\/p>\n

I may not have gotten them done in time for Christmas but at least I got them done in time for the cold weather. It has been super cold here the last two weeks. This is the first weekend we’ve had decent weather. <\/p>\n

Anyway, I love how the hats (which, if you notice, are two different styles — since I just make these on the fly without a pattern, no two are ever identical) turned out. This has encouraged me to pick up crocheting again. Hopefully, I’ll finally learn how to read crochet patterns and learn to make some new things this year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
