That you'd want to make the tube part long enough before decreasing… That’s from memory though as I must admit most of the little crochet hats I’ve made have been top down so I usually just keep going till they fit! <br />Hope it works out ok :)<br /><br /><br />Sandra x<br /><br />Cherry Heart<br />・Blog: sandra-cherryheart.blogspot.co.uk<br />・Boutique: cherryheart.co.uk<br />・Crochet Corner: cherryheartcrochet.co.uk<br /><br />・Facebook・Instagram・Ravelry・Pinterest・Sandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697593650732548152.post-58321875329614855532014-12-01T20:51:08.903+00:002014-12-01T20:51:08.903+00:00This collage is lovely to look at.

When I measure for the hat length, do I measure from the very top or from where I start crocheting even? I'm thinking the latter as we knitters make sure the tube is long enough before decreasing for the top of the hat. I just wanted to make sure as I read somewhere someone saying to measure from the very top. Thank you!Sandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697593650732548152.post-35452266925420523492014-12-01T08:45:11.405+00:002014-12-01T08:45:11.405+00:00Lovely post - made me giggle.

I have different projects on the go in different crafts - jewellery, crochet, paper crafting, and don't get me started on all the Christmas related projects I have planned!

I currently have one scarf, one blanket, one wall hanging and two soft toys in various stages of completion. Some days I want easy peasy crochet in front of the tv, other times I want the challenge of a more complicated pattern. I think our way is best. ;-)Sandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697593650732548152.post-20297493497055830082014-11-30T01:06:20.568+00:002014-11-30T01:06:20.568+00:00I too thought I was like you, start one, finish on...I too thought I was like you, start one, finish one but as time goes by i am pulled in different directions by pretty pattern, pretty yarn, new techniques, new textures. My mind races, my eyes dilate, my heart thumps and I buy yet another pattern, another hank or two of yarn, some more hooks and needles! Now, because of your pretty little boho heart scissor dangle I bought, what? Wooden beads, glass beads! Oh my now I need smaller crochet cotton and oh yes smaller hook! But I love it! I love the way we can express our delight in crafting pretty little things. Also during thanksgiving my daughter saw your heart tutorial I had made and flipped out! Now she's been visiting Cherry Heart! I got to teach her some single and double crochet! Loved watching her learn! So a big thank you for that heart tutorial which I learned to make. I'm using it as a coaster. My daughter and I spent a wonderful evening crocheting together before and after thanksgiving!Sandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697593650732548152.post-75594329095549018072014-11-29T21:00:34.314+00:002014-11-29T21:00:34.314+00:00Well you're obviously a monogamous knitter!

For example, I'm a fiber artist but I go to guild sewing days and I take regular quilt projects there as I can't possibly drag all my art supply stash..and then there's the issue of being stuck on an art piece. It has to go up on the wall for a while while I move on and ponder it from time to time. Then there 's tv time. I must knit. I need easy knitting for tired nights and more complicated stuff for the more attentive times. And easy knitting for outings or for the car.<br />I could go on but you get the picture.Sandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697593650732548152.post-41684865200006201332014-11-29T10:15:17.799+00:002014-11-29T10:15:17.799+00:00If only I had so few Id stand more chance of finis...If only I had so few Id stand more chance of finishing more lol Im a serial hoarder of ideas and stash : ) but there are worse things I could be after all!

Although I do have one knitting thing on the go and one sewing. And one cross stitch, and also a machine sewing one. But only one of each if you see what I mean. Although having looked at the things you've found in your craft room I'm starting to wonder if there are Things lurking in the back of my wardrobe. A couple of started blankets maybe, nothing major. I am thinking about starting a crochet thing though, I don't have one of those on the go at the moment. Unless you count the cushion, I'd forgotten about the cushion...
