Some mojo found
Isn't it lovely when you write a post about missing mojo only to have that inspire you to bloody well find some of it later that evening?
I went with Sarah's advice to do something fun first and I didn't even go with something on my list. Not to worry!
I found this quick pattern on ravelry and decided I could probably whip it up in one evening. Nothing works quite so quickly as a big crochet hook and a chunky yarn! I ended up making a couple of changes - I added an extra round in the lengthening section and made the band thicker and a bit tighter with some decreases. I like that I am at a level where I can make alterations to a pattern and have them work out successfully.
This is the first thing I have crocheted in a while, I've been busy knitting lately. It was nice to get back to the hook actually. And I think this is the first thing I have crocheted (and finished) for me as well! I wore it out on Saturday for morning tea and with rain forecast for all this week apart from today I might just get a few more wears out of it before it goes in the cupboard for next Winter!
I still haven't done anything on that list. But I'm about to go hang out a load of washing and then my plan is to get grouting while the sun is still shining.
Hopefully this is the start of a productive week!

mm, lovely! I have a similar crocheted hat that my mum's made me; I ended up with two of the same pattern in different colours because I love it so much. Wear it all the time in winter! xx georgi
ps. good news about your mojo!
Fabulous :):)
Yippee for mojo!
Love your hat...glad you are feeling a little more groove. x
It's delightful!! I can't get enough of chunky gray yarn like that!
Wow! That was quick haha. I think the chunky hook and big yarn was what I used to get my crafting mojo back last year. Something about instant results I reckon! You have done an awesome job :)
Oh it's fantastic, and looks wonderful!! I am most impressed that you can alter the pattern at whim!! Well done on finding your mojo!!
Love, love, love this hat! xx
Oh I like! Looks good. And yes - nothing better than a big hook and some chunky yarn.
