R2D2 Hat for Britton's Star Wars Birthday

I made this R2D2 hat for Britton's Star Wars birthday from an R2D2 Beanie pattern found on Carissa Knits blog.

I made the child's size beanie using Vanna's choice in Silver Grey and Royal Blue, with buttons for... buttons.

Lessons with Safety Yarn

Robyn and Heidi came over for Super Girly Crafty Fun Time and both took on crochet for the first time.

First timers require the safety yarn of warnings and nooblets.

Heidi is making a safety muffin potholder mask...

Complete with convenient finger holes.

Next time I'm going to talk her into making her own Beard Beanie.

Silly Heidi

Robyn is perfecting the art of laying the yarn across the top and laughing.

Next stop - hat for Doug!

Speed crochet!

I worked on my R2D2 hat while Pants dominated the laptop and kept an eye on us.

Looks of disapproval lead to knit-breading the cat.
