I will be writing up a new pattern for other sizes, so keep checking back for those.  This pattern was written while sitting on my sofa and has been tested. I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I enjoyed creating it.

On the Hook

  I have been wanting to work something up for the young man in my life, with the left over yarn I bought just for him, and I finally figured out what I wanted to make. A Golf Hat.
  So today I am working up a pattern form Moogly. It is their Big Boy's Cabled Golf Cap.
  I am super excited about the progress and can not wait to finish it up. Since my little guy is really a little guy, not even one yet, I have switched the hook size to try and make a smaller size.(I hope that cuts the size down enough.) If not at least he will be able to grow into it.
  Anywho, here is a pic of it in progress.

Make sure to check in later for a look at the finished product.

Have a Blessed Day

Dear Fans

Dear Fans,
I normally do not get into the pricing debate, however today I feel like I need to voice my opinion. I want to encourage everyone to embrace the price that is placed on handmade items.
Handmade items are made by a person and not a machine. This means that items have a personal touch and are limited to how fast a person can complete each project. We, as handmade creators, can not mass produce each item at high rates of speed. So we replace that with a quality and love you will not find in mass produced items. We often stay up late, put off doing our chores, skip a meal or two and use our lunch breaks at work to finish an ordered item.
So I ask that when you are shopping around, please take note of the price. If you notice the price to be to good to be true keep digging, because it probably is to good to be true.  Find a handmade artisan and form a bond with that person, because they are giving you a little piece of themselves with every item you buy from them. And know that everything that goes into a handmade item is truly immeasurable.
Have a Blessed Day,
Lexy
