Back To Basics

in needleworkmonday •  6 years ago 

Today is about proving This Gal still has some bounce.

I have been having a rough time lately. I am back and leaning on the fundamentals of my life to fuel the machine that is this life forward.

I return to #NeedleworkMonday. My Steemit fundamental. From the beginning this community has supported and interacted with my posts. Hugs of Gratitude!

I return to Crochet, where it all began.

I return to a Tried and True Hat Pattern.

I return to what is to me is An Intentional Meditation in Creation.

I grabbed some white cotton and began... Using the old comfy loved hat as my pattern.

As I worked with my hands I worked out a plan... This hat was going to carry me through the steps.

Earning cash has become a priority in my world. This hat will be my first offered on my as yet unstocked new Etsy Shop. I plan to offer other items too.

FOLLOW this hat as it carries me through my process... I have finished it, with a couple of unique twists.

Next up is to dye it, and then list it for sale.

Thanks for Reading. Stay tuned for more to come.

That's such a great handy craft to learn, my mom used to do a lot of them, still using until today, too bad I'm not really into it. Hahaha...

I am happy to stir a memory. What do you do that brings you hope and peace?

I like drawing, brings me peace and calm.

I kind of like the hat white...but this just me. I love to crochet and knit as well as embroider but I just don't have the time right now to sit and relax undisturbed for more than to minutes.

I agree! That was my first thought...white...

Great minds think alike! LOL

Shucks Ladies!!

I guess I will make a second one and list one in White. Thanks for the positive feedback! Hugs

Happy to be of service!

Wow how long does it take to make one? I love the color I think it would look good on me 😊

It is a great pattern. Did it bring you the peace you wanted? I like it white! Out of curiousity how muxh do you normally sell them for?

Thanks! It's an oldie, originally made for a best friend and regifted back to me.

The consensus seems to be offer it in White! Something I wouldn't have been comfy doing without this feedback. Hugs

It did bring me the peace and hope I wanted, along with the plan the geek in me needed.

I normally charge $25 for a simple unadorned hat like this in cotton or acrylic.

I think it is really cute. You did a great job and as well as finding it therapeutic you can now sell it too and make a little cash and make someone else really happy.

This is such a real and sweet post. I say real because we all have those times when we just need to stop and pick up that hobby that helps us unwind and relax. I say sweet because it makes me happy that you consider #NeedleWorkMonday as your Steemit fundamental. 😊

I’m so glad that you are diving in to selling adventures and moving forward doing what you love to do. I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having a rough time and I hope that things get better. ❤️

I also love the white but at the same time I am really looking forward to seeing what you do with the dye!!! 😃

I hope that it will sell quickly!! and hard cash will be in your hands!

I like the crocheted slouchy looking hat @borrowedearth, especially with the brim. I think it will look nice in any color. The grey (or was it beige) that you have on is nice. I hope you find the peace that you are looking for. And hope you sell loads of this on etsy to make the cash that you need. Here is a little upvote for you (sorry, my SP is still not much but I give you what I have 😘)

All the best with your hat-making-selling adventure!
I saw lots of people love white here, but I think the grey one also looks good. I suppose it all depends on how you wear it. All the best!

What a nice job, how good you came back to crochet. I like the white. I am really looking forward to seeing what you do with the dye. Regards

Great work! I wish you luck with your Etsy sop and money making. 💛
