WOW! You are amazing! I just love your patterns! I wish I was as talented and creative as you! I have tried coming up with a few of my own designs, but they arn't this cool. I made a beret, a beenie, and a ton of scarves, but they are pretty plain.
YOU RULE! I can't wait to get some yarn and try out this hat! |

Hi Dot, you are a genius! Luv
your awesome patterns, I'm just
a rookie, but your site is one I
will return to often to keep me
inspired to learn more about the
various techniques: crocheting
in only the back hooks, the correct
way to turn, and the dreadful
finishing off.
Thanks for being so generous!
Hugs,
Cynthia |

Hi Rita. Thank you. I'm glad you like my patterns. I just love trying new stitches and I had a passion for making hats. I hadn't thought of using the doohickie as a desk accessory, I'm glad your family is enjoying it. |

Hi Dot, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your patterns and think you are very talented and generous to share your patterns. I made the Doohickey and it is a big hit with the family. Perfect for a desk to keep it organized. I don't know how you come up with so many styles for the caps/hats, but they are beautiful. Thank you, Rita |

Hi Angie, I've seen the wedgewood and you're right, it's beautiful. I'd love to see a picture of your hat when you're through. You're welcome, I enjoy sharing my patterns. |

Hey Sutty! The color on this hat is a very drab olive green. I don't have many bright colors left. I need to restock. Not like someone I know who just landed in yarn heaven! lol |
