Another hat for a friend's sister

I was asked to make another hat for a friend's sister. I had made her a black hat with a huge black flower a couple years ago. I was told she wears it all the time and is now wanting a cream one just like it. How could I say no. So, here it is. Hope she likes it! :-)

Etsy

I am happy to announce that I have opened an Etsy shop! There isn't much on it yet, but I have already made my first sell. It was one of my football beanies! Yay!
As of now, you can purchase a Football Beanie or a Crocheted Purse (in your choice of two colors).
The football hat would be a great gift for the guy(s) in your life. I have a few family members that love to wear theirs to the local high school football game on Friday night. I can also do custom orders for smaller sizes.
The purse would be nice as well. I have it listed as "in your team colors", obviously I made the orange and white one for Tennessee Vols, but you can choose any two colors for your team. Or, just any colors in general that you happen to want!

So, please take a moment to check it out!

Tennessee Volunteers Beanie

Hubby's new knitted Tennessee beanie. It's my first knitted beanie (that's not on a loom)...I think it turned out okay. The "T" puckered. Got to work on color changing that doesn't happen all the way around...if that makes sense. However, the tiny checkerboard pattern towards the top was a piece of cake! Loved doing that part. It's also a tad smaller than a normal sized adult beanies b/c my hubby has a bit smaller noggin.
He seems to like it, even with the obvious flaws that bug me. He is so sweet! lol
I'm sure I will be making 2-3 more for the kids soon. I'm already working on the next beanie though. It is black, white, and orange...kind of Tennessee/Halloween colors I guess.

Its Almost Football Season!

I've been working on some football beanies and drink coozies. Hoping to sell a few!

Spencer's Hawk Hat

My brother-in-law is having a show tonight and was wanting an awesome hat to wear...well, this is what I made him...Modeled by Tennessee:

The pattern can be found here on Ravelry.

Football Beanie Pattern

I'm sorry to have to post this. Unfortunately, there are too many people using my pattern to make money online when I specifically stated do not sell my pattern or items made with my pattern online. (I stated finished items may NOT be sold online...and I have seen exact copies everywhere online!) So, I regret to take this down from my blog, but it just irks me to no end that people will be so dishonorable. I had been making this hat for a few years and never once saw something online like it. That is why I decided to add it in the first place. I have, however, decided to sell MY pattern for $1.50 in PDF format on Ravelry.com. Again, I'm sorry to all those who respected my pattern. It's the bad apples that ruin it for everyone else. ~April
