My daughter is going to be a huge dork

At least that's what my husband says will happen if I continue to make her hats like this.

But I'm totally cool with it.  I was a huge nerd all through my school years. 

And lets face it, I probably still am.

But I'm so glad that I stayed true to myself all those years, because I really like the person that I turned out to be - corny as that may sound :)

I whipped up this hat for Phoebe the other night.  I hadn't crocheted anything in awhile, and it felt sooooo good to be working with yarn again.

I used this free tutorial; it took less than one skein and was completed entirely while I watched the Oscars.  I like quick crochet projects.  I always have big ambitions to make afghans out of hundreds of little motifs, but I always peter out after a couple of weeks.  But I think I caught the bug again after seeing this and this and this. 

I hope my husband turns out to be right for once.
