Getting Crafty With My Time

1/17/2019

I didn’t do much crocheting over the holidays, but realized I was missing it. Having a crochet hook in my hand while I watch TV in the evening allows me to still do something creative and constructive with my time.  Further inspiration was provided when I flipped through the pages of a book of patterns I received as a Christmas gift.  It was time to get back into the rhythm of the hook.
 
I found a cute pattern for a child’s hat which could be sized for a baby or a larger child.  Below are the coordinating hats I made for my two granddaughters.

These were quick and easy to make, and a good project to get me started again.  Plus, my two-year-old granddaughter’s excitement when she saw me working on them was beyond gratifying.  (Though I am not sure if she was excited about the hats, or just wanted to play with the soft, squishy balls of yarn.)
 
Either way, it was a fun project to do.  And who knows, perhaps someday I will pass this skill on to the girls.  I firmly believe my central role as a grandparent is to love and support my granddaughters.  Any additional skills I can pass along will be an additional bonus.  If my husband can pass along some basic woodworking skills and I can pass along a craft or two, it will be time well spent for all of us.

When you allot time for crocheting, you will surely learn the craft and you will be capable of producing great good just like this hat! I was not expecting it would be this great, and I am just so thankful that I have seen this. I was inspired to go back to the world of crochet. I have learned that almost nine years ago, but I had to stop for some reason. Crocheting is not an easy job, that's why I am looking forward to relearn it once again! Being creative may require time for you and you must be ready to give it!
