Well, me and Mom caught onto the trend of "messy bun hats" which are basically crocheted hats with a stretchy ponytail hole in the top for your bun. Actually, Mom caught onto it. Mine....are now back at their humble beginnings in the yarn pile, dismantled. I am completely taken by this one Mom's made (matter fact, if it doesn't sell, I'm going to keep it).

Here's to saying goodbye *waves crochet hook* I'll be back with more of the wove.

"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness."

-Psalm 30:11
