not weaving,

but still fiber arts.  ;)  Since I know that many weaving people also have other fiber obsessions interests, I figured it would be okay to post this.

I crocheted two baby hats yesterday... several friends are having babies and I needed gifts!

 The monkey hat... this one is so cute!  I used brown cotton, so it's soft, too.  Newborn size.
























and, a little girl hat... this one's a bit larger, possibly for fall or early winter.
























I'd like to make another one like this in brown, with a blue stripe and blue brim, for a boy.  Or a girl.  But no flower, this time.  For this hat, I used a pattern from one hat, the brim from another, and a flower pattern I found online. 

On a weaving note... I haven't been weaving.  Still have the same scarf on my loom I had on in December.  I got burned out after weaving many hours a day from October-December.  The project on my floor loom scares me because it's a fine thread, the edges are pulling in too much, and I don't know how to fix that.  I might just keep weaving and add some sort of edging when I'm finished (a thin ribbon, perhaps?), but obviously I haven't kept weaving...
