So at last I received my copy of Debbie Stoller's new SnB book -- The Happy Hooker.
Hee. Hee. In my quick perusal, it looks good. Good illustrations. Cheeky and funny. Quite a few projects I would make (if my to-do list weren't quite so long).
Including this one.
I DID make it.
Heee.
It's called Strut, and it's on pages 128-131.
It looks different on the model.
It's a really fast hat to make. Then you felt it. Noro Kureyon does all the colorwork for you.
I see no conflict between the knitting urge and the crochet urge. They're completely different. I could never get knitting to work like this for this sort of hat. I like that I can make forms more easily with crochet.
Unless I want something drapey and fluid. Then it's knitting.
Love having the choice.








I acknowledged myunderstanding. Flying high and sheleft. Tim

I love this hat and I'm making it as my first crochet project! I would love to see your hat on you or on a model. I can't wait to wear this despite the current temperatures that are running into the 100s. Gracias

Hola. Hice este sombrero en el tamaño más grande, con un ganchillo mayor al indicado. Quedó diferente al de la modelo, pero me pareció bueno. Lo llevaría puesto hoy, pero hace CALOR.

Indeed! I'm just discovering the joys of crochet. It's a wonderful thing to have choice.
