Here's my latest hat. It has one row of broomstick lace in it. I've always loved the look of that stitch. As always, if you'd like to have the pattern, click on the image and it should take you right to it. :ghug

Dot! You have to stoppit! I haven't made all the hats from your site yet that I love and you just keep on toosing out new, gorgeous creations that I can't resist! OK so I don't *really* want you to stoppit *g* but you ARE taking care of that hand aren't you????

I even have a big old huge knitting needle lookin thang that my needlework book says you use for broomstick lace (I have wondered for *months* why there would be just one of them lol) so you know I'm printing this off and adding it to my ever growing list of things I just *have* to make :blush

Thank you, Marvie.

I appreciate your concern for my hand, and yes, :yes I am taking care of it. I wore my brace almost continually for 2 weeks and did not crochet, even though I found out I could poke the hook up under the brace and still crochet just using my left hand. :bad I decided I was totally addicted and needed to stop before the men in the white coats came to take me away. :loco The wrist feels fine now and the hand is not going to sleep, :hi but I'm still taking it easy. I stop from time to time and I still use the brace sometimes at night. :computer :blah :blah :eek2 sorry I'm such a blabber fingers today, just got carried away. :D!

I'm so glad to see you're feeling better =) I think you had us all worried that there might not be anymore of your lovely creations *g* Plus, I hate to see (read) anyone in pain =(

I made the Lizzy hat for one of my friends back in the states, mailed it out mid-week, I'm really anxious to see how she likes it! I know she will though, because I really wanted to keep it *g* and we have very similar tastes lol.

Thank you, Marvie. I can't express how much your concern and everyone else's has meant to me. :)h :grouphug
