	Dot April 14, 2006 08:14 PM PDT Hi Deb. You're welcome, glad you like them. I don't know where you'd buy straw. I've worked with the rafia once but didn't like it at all!


	Deb W April 13, 2006 09:50 AM PDT thank you so much for these nifty hat projects!!! Where would we buy straw to make a summer version for my redhat group? I tried raffia and it didn't work to well. thank you againcarol_reese@cox.net


	Dot November 27, 2005 10:55 PM PST Thanks Cathy, glad you like my patterns and I hope you enjoy using them. Welcome back to crochet, it's more fun than ever. Happy holidays to you and yours.


	Cathy November 27, 2005 08:49 PM PST Wow, great patterns! Thanks. I was looking for a hat pattern to use with Homespun and I think the Honeycomb will be perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your creations. I will be sure to give you credit when I wear the hat! Have you thought about publishing a book of your patterns? (I just rediscovered crochet after many years of doing only cross-stitch)


	Hannah September 4, 2005 05:36 PM PDT you're welcome


	Dot July 25, 2005 08:07 PM PDT Thank you, Barbara. You should just take the plunge and pick a pattern to do and jump right in and try it. If you run into trouble on a pattern, email me at bythehook7647 (at) yahoo (dot) com. I'm never too far from my keyboard and I'll try my best to help you through the pattern.


	Barbara Kennedy July 25, 2005 07:10 PM PDT I enjoy looking at your patterns. They are beautiful. I'm trying to get the courage to try some. You are very kind and I'm sure a lot of work to do this.


	Dot June 29, 2005 12:07 PM PDT Thank you, Hannah, I'm glad you like the site. UBW is my favorite hat too, because I can do it without using the pattern and it works up so quick. I'm glad to hear you use it with baby weight and sport yarn. I'll have to try that too. Thanks for writing.


	hannah June 29, 2005 10:52 AM PDT i think your site is the best. i found out about it through crochetpatterncentral.com. i always go to your site first when i need a pattern. you should make more shawl patterns. you have alot of hat patterns which i think is good. i can never find a good hat pattern. i really like the UBW (ulgy but warm) hat. this hat works really god with 2 strands of baby or sport weight yarn. i like this pattern because it is so easy!! i have memorized it! it takes me one day to finish 2 of these hats. thanks for you patterns!!! hannah


	Dot June 24, 2005 04:18 PM PDT Thank you, Hannah. I try to make my patterns easy to follow so most everyone can use them. And, thanks for the info about the sport weight working for Honeycomb. That's good to know.


	hannah June 24, 2005 11:36 AM PDT i like your patterns. you are good at making up easy patterns. the honeycomd hat works with sport weight yarn if you want a lighter hat


	Dot June 23, 2005 09:21 PM PDT Thank you, Lala.
