Emily's Posterous

Emily

I'm Emily. I currently live in Maryland, where I teach adults how to converse, read, and write in English.

I'm into nptech, libraries, and education. I'm borderline obsessed with steel-cut oatmeal, Twinings' chamomile tea, and Lindt chocolate truffles.

I enjoy crochet because it's fast and awesome, but I love the look and feel of knitted projects even though they take me forever.

Baby Hat with Flower

I haven't done much knit or crochet in a while, but then a family member had a big party to celebrate the baptism of her first child - a little girl.

I busted out a book filled with cute, simple patterns, called "Simple 1-2-3 Knitting."  I loved loved loved the Daisy Top Hat, but had no interest in a nice slow knit project.  I'm a terribly slow knitter.  So I took out a crochet hook and some yarn and started heavily modifying.

This is what I ended up with.  I really liked it.  I'm still not sure it's my family member's style though, so I attached the flower with two safety pins so they could remove it and just use the hat (or just use the flower).

Sorry about the picture quality - I took it with my Blackberry.

Usually just one of them camps out directly behind me while I brush my teeth. Today was special, I guess :)
