Garden Party Crocheted Hat. Pattern Update
| March 18, 2011 | Filled under Errata |
I know, I’ve got You confused with gauge to this hat. I gave it in diameter, which is not typical for hat gauge and looks as was accepted as radius, so some crocheters got a huge hats – I’m so sorry about that. Now is everything if fixed and the pattern is updated.
PLEASE MAKE SURE You have an updated version of Garden Party Crocheted Hat Pattern and your
pattern says that gauge is first 14 (10, 6) rounds = 4” (measures from center of hat to edge)
Thank you so much for your interest!!
The Winner
| March 17, 2011 | Filled under Giveaway |
Dear Friends,
First of all, I would like to Thanks everyone for your kind of words and such sweet comments! I’m Truly happy that you like my designs and MUCH appreciate all your support and love! YOU ARE THE BEST!! But oh my, I must admit that I was in big trouble to pick up just one name from such gorgeous list of suggestions and I really love them all – so it’s explaining the delay with notifying the winner. I’m sorry about that! ;o)
So… our Winner is Theresa O. with comment:
How about “Double Fun in the Sun”?. Double for the double brim, Fun for the many ways you can wear the hat, and Sun because it’s more of a Spring/Summer hat?
My Congratulations, Theresa!! I’ll contact you shortly to see your preferences and shipping address.
Thank you so much again everyone from bottom of my heart!! YOU ALL ROCK!!
With lots of Love,
Alla
