Hats for Bobby-Weeks 11 and 12

"The Amy and the Emily" Matching Hats

Yeah! I'm finally starting to catch up!

These, which I have dubbed the Amy and the Emily after the beautiful ladies I made them for, are weeks 11 and 12. I originally got the pattern off of about.com but it was so bad that I ended up having to change it so much that it basically became my own pattern. Anyway, they love them and I hope they get a lot of use out of them. Amy, by the way, is Bobby's sister-in-law, and Emily is his wonderful little neice.

Hurricane Party

Rain is pouring. The power just came back on (we lost it for 22 minutes). Wind's blowing. There are 12 people in our little house, hunkering down for the storm. They told me not to come in to work today, so I have basically all day with nothing to do. Time to work on some "Bobby" hats, learn to use the camera for my brother's wedding, and watch Rio! (maybe. China Cry is more likely.) Stay safe, everyone. Use this locked up time to have some quality bonding time. We're certainly getting a lot of it here, 3 of us sitting on the same couch, using the same internet modem.

Hats for Bobby-Week 10

Puff Stitch Beret



And we finally come to posting for week 10. When I first started making this hat I wondered who in their right mind ever made up that puff stitch! But, as it went along, it wasn't as hard as it was before. And it's comfortable, cute, and I seem to have a thing with berets.

A Quick Note

It's currently passed midnight. I got home from work around 10:30, talked with my mom and sister until about 11:30 and then threw something in the slow cooker for tomorrow's (technically today's) dinner. The point of this is I'm really busy so that's why I'm 3 weeks behind on posts for Hats for Bobby. And I'm also running out of pattern resources. If you know of any good ones, please leave me a comment. And please be patient as I try to catch up. And continue to pray for Bobby and the 13 wives and 21 children that were left behind after that Chinook crash in Afghanistan.
