Spiney Kauffman Newsboy Hat Pattern

I've been cruising through Google Analytics a lot lately and I've noticed that some of you hookers were searching directly for my Kauffman hat pattern.



Here's the pattern for the spiney hat without a brim.

Rnd 1:Ch 2(counts as a dc),11 dc in ring.Join with sl st to top of ch-2(12 dc).
Rnd 2:Ch 2,dc in same st.2 dc in each st around.Join(24 dc).

Enjoy!

One step closer.

Thanks to everyone!

Surrealism at it's best.

I was rummaging through my attic today and I found this gem.
Painted by Dann, maybe 13 years ago.
This treasure is now on ebay.

Here's the original art for comparison



Here's the painting



Here's the description;

Original Acrylic Painting of Jimi Hendrix

Inspired by the cover of VooDoo Soup


This painting was done by me when I was in the 8th grade. It's acrylic paint on a canvas panel. Despite my teachers repeated warnings that the original was watercolor and wouldn't look right in Acrylic, I proceeded anyways. That's what art is about after all. Rebelling against the man's rules of what art is. I'm kind of like Andy Warhol, but with a better haircut. I got a C for this, if I remember correctly.

I put the original picture next to my work so you can compare and be in awe. I took some artistic liberties with this. For example I made 2 smaller bowls of radishes, instead of the one larger one. To show the duality of mankind's chakra or something, or for space constraints.. Also, he's holding his spoon like a cigarette in my version. Perhaps to show that cigarettes look cool when our idols hold them? Or just maybe it's because hands are really hard to draw and paint. I also put a very bold outline around some things, while other things (like his face) have no outline at all. This is to accent the importance of some things over others in society. Like weird glasses of voodoo are generally considered more important than Afro hair styles. Or it may have been because acrylics are hard to work with.

Winning bidder will recieve the painting, and a signed certificate of authenticity by me.

Freestyle Fabulousness.

I've been organizing, tearing things apart and rolling my abundance of scrap yarn.
I'm going to use all of my new found yarn to make freeform hats. They will all be one of a kind hat. All of them well be based on............The Solar System!
Yep. They're going to be awesome.
Freeform crochet allows me an abundance of more freedom. I can capture a storm, crater or any other planetary anomalies.

I want to reinvent my whole shop with this newfound idea. Sooo, almost everything in my shop right now is ten dollars or under!

Here's Jupiter.

I love making tags ? The make such great embellishments!

Etsy Buy Handmade BendyBonesPaperCuts

Hello.

So, I'm part of the blogging world. I wanted this blog so bad, I cut copied and pasted all of my info from other sites and posted on here. So bad that I had to erase each of the million periods and turn them into comma's.

I never really wanted a blog before, but the time has come where no one listens to me. I need someone to know what I crochet'd today or about the UFO I saw in the sky today.

Hopefully, I will get some therapeutic value, promotion, and other eyewitnesses.


Also, buy my stuff.
