I finished crocheting "Pixie Hood" for one of my granddaughters. I recently found out she has a fascination for hats so I've started making some for her for Christmas. I made this with a yarn I've never used before - reflective yarn. Those white splotches reflect light and there's kind of a glow in the dark effect. What fun. And woe is me... I had to try and try again in order to get that front section of the hood right. Those were some new-to-me stitches.
When I showed the granddaughters this book this is the one I expected Isabelle to pick as a favorite and she did. A "Pixie Hoood" is totally Isabelle. At age 11 she dresses in a rather Bohemian (artsy-fartsy) way. And I think that's a good thing. She already has her own style and is not preoccupied with brand names.
And since I've finished this pixie hood I'm going to start another hat today.
I work a few rounds of crochet...
... when I take a break from working out in the gardens.
I guess crochet stitches are hand stitches (no machines involved in this process- just some old fogey hands and a crochet hook and yarn) so I'm linking up today with
and Monday I'm linking with:

What an adorable cap for your granddaughter. Congratulations on a beautiful finish.
So many lovely things to admire in this post, especially that cool garden gnome! The purple cap should be on him for the model? LOL! "Hat's right; head's all wrong!"-Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Finally getting around to visiting the Slow Sunday Stitching links...
what a fabulous gift for an artsy type who likes hats!
