I've been quite busy lately. Lots of orders are coming in for Christmas. It's a bittersweet time in a crafter's world. While I adore having many projects to work on and my lovely customers, I do wish that business would be as active throughout the year. (This is my creative outlet, let me make something for you folks!) I have faith that time will change this, though/. One of my recent orders included a granny square hat. This customer found the look she wanted from an online store. I often see things in the stores (usually machine made China things) and think, 'I could totally make that, but better!' So of course I said it could make one for her, but in my own style. :) The hat she wanted is pictured below. A fantastic granny square hat! I've contemplated doing something similar in the past (without having seen this before), and now I had the chance to do it! The colors she chose were hot pink, orange, and white. Now with anything with more than one color I usually have to contemplate the placement of the colors for a while. I feel that the balance of colors in a piece can make or break the look. Pink was obviously going to be the primary focus. The only issue was figuring out where to put the orange and white. Here's what I came up with for the granny square. Once I finished the hat as the picture showed I felt there were still something missing. My flair! The hat as is is pretty basic, a little bland in my mind. I decided to add a nice picot edge in white and accented it with a slip stitched orange over that. Here's the final product!
