When individual fibers are crocheted together with a thread of emotion, they become an original, personal design. This creative process is my joyful obsession

Another Day, Another Hat!

Good Morning!  I am once again up and at it way too early for my liking.  I am excited this morning though, I finally finished the Dora hat.  It was rather time consuming, but I love how it turned out.  Each strand of her hair is attached individually and then sewn into the hat for stability.  Here she is:
I still need to go back and finish slip stitching the hair to the hat.  But, I had to put her down for a little while.  I was getting really sick of her hair.  LOL!!!  I started a "slouch" hat for my friend Angie last night, it's in heather gray, and is working up really nice and really quick.  It sure is different crocheting something like that after doing all these character hats.  I had to keep reminding myself to read the pattern, and not just do it from my head, because I kept doing the character hat pattern!  OOPS!  Oh well, hopefully will have pictures to post of it later today or tomorrow. 
Now what to start after Angie's hat?  Give me suggestions!  I may try a Sponge Bob.  I found this amazing site online that is doing these hats for dogs!  I am sooooo going to try one. Anyone want to take bets as to whether or not Maddie and Hayden will model for me?
Before I close for the morning, here's another picture of the lovely Miss Dora
