Hat Obsessed

Prior to about 2 weeks ago I could only crochet in a straight line. For those of you who know how to crochet, but not really that well, you know that all those little symbols and letters that are on the patterns for how to crochet things are just a mean tease. They claim they can tell you how to crochet a sweater or a hat, but in reality you open it up and its just rows of little letters and symbols and you attempt to decipher them, but in the end you're just making stuff up. So you give up.
So I decided, screw the written out patterns, I live in an age of technology and its about time I used it! So I googled "How to crochet a hat" and clicked 'videos.' I reviewed a few videos and thought I got the idea. So I began.
I succeeded in making my first hat. Except it was for a GIANT!!! It is huge! I have not had the heart or patience to take it apart, so if you know anyone that is a giant or perhaps someone with dreds or a giant with dreds, let me know and I will gladly give them a hat... for free and made with love and hopes and dreams.
Anyways, moral of the story is, I tried again and I succeeded and I have now completed two hats and a baby sized hat for Miss Maple. I am officially out of yarn, so I need to use my 40% of coupons and head on over to JoAnn Fabrics to get me some more yarn!
In the meantime, if you would like to learn how, you can follow my technique. I found Threadbanger to be awesome and very helpful!!!

Keep me posted about Giants with Dreds
