My mom has recently retired – read, left her job as a
teacher and started working at a jewellery store. This is awesome for me because I can buy
myself awesome diamond studs for a ridiculously inexpensive price tag. Oh yes.
It also became awesome for me because one of her co-workers had a friend
having a baby. She wanted a
baby-bear-hat made. Mom offered up my
skills. So for the first time ever, I
made something that was not for me / anyone I know.
How’d it turn out?
Well, it’s fine. I had a few
issues with the pattern. 1. the sizing
is all wrong. I ended up going to a K
hook and doubling the yarn (ie. Crocheting with two strands) and am STILL shy
on the width. It’s close enough now, but
really? Come on. 2. I
just don’t really like it that much. I
guess this is the joy of working for a “client” you make what they want –
rather than something you’d like to make.

So, the outcome? I sold something. That’s interesting enough. Would I do it again? Sure… as long as it wasn’t too hard. Will I love it? No.
