Pressing On

It has been a difficult week. On Thursday...I starting learning to crochet. 

Yes. Crochet. 

Crochet isn't where you hit a ball around the yard with a mallet. That's Croquet. 

I'm talkin' about the yarn and needle hook thing that you use to either make a hot pad or a real ugly sweater. 

Well on Thursday I decided I would learn and I decided I would make me a hat. The kind of hat with the ear flaps 'cause those are the cool kinds of hat. I used yarn that I purchased in New Zealand. I bought it because I LOST my FAVORITE hat in New Zealand so I figured I'd buy yarn and make me a hat. 

Three years later, Imma make me a hat. 

It looks a little something like this. 

Well, it rivals the ugliness. 

With the same breath I use to grumble while suffering through the stitches, I am giggling at how ugly it is. 

It's awful. 

I MIGHT AS WELL BE CROCHETING WITH A CROQUET MALLET, IT LOOKS SO UGLY.

But I'll get better at it.
