two hats to donate to a Yahoo group's Prize Album; a white one with pink and red trim
and flowers, and a turquoise-blue one with purple, lavender, and blue trim and flowers.
The last two days were too hot to do much of anything, so I took a break and crocheted two hats to donate to a Yahoo group's Prize Album; a white one with pink and red trim and flowers, and a turquoise-blue one with purple, lavender, and blue trim and flowers. We went to Canadian Tire last night to buy a new chamois for my next commission outfit - a Little Bluebird native set. The soft chamois is perfect for the small leather clothing. Today I have one of the most challenging parts of the entire costume - the cutting of all the fringe on the 'jacket'. Much of it is around 4 to 5" long, and each strip needs to be just over 1/16" wide. That's hundreds and hundreds of fringe strips. Well, better get to it......

Can't wait to see... do you tape it down and use a rotary cutter to cut them?

No. I cut all the fringe by hand with a scissors.

Well I never! I am almost 'addicted' to crocheting mesh hats very similar to these at the moment too!
