I’ve made 102 hats. Some knit. Some crocheted. Some as gifts. Some donated. Of those that remain in my home, I regularly wear about 10 of those hats.
So, what is the point? I don’t know. I craft yarn things to keep my fingers busy, and to free my brain to contemplate. Sometimes, I make something deliberately as a wearable. More often, I feel like trying a technique or construction type, or I find a yarn I can’t resist. Sometimes a funky new pattern will get me going.
The journey has been about discovering what I will actually make, what I will actually wear, how gauge works, what kinds of yarn I prefer, and how to finish a project. Every one should give it a shot.
