A hat for Ramon

I am going through a crochet fever and find myself knitting most of my spare time. Right now I'm making another hat, this one for Ramon who seriously asked me to make one for him, seems that he liked the way the first one came out.


We selected together this kind of string for his beret, it has different colors that are perfect for a guy's hat.

All this JUNK mail!

We get a pile of useless papers in the mail that frankly we have no interest in. It seems that the previous owners of the house were subscribed to a lot of offers, catalogs, ads and fliers. For us is a waste since most of our mail goes directly to the recycling bin. Every time I go through the mail it hurts me to see all of this ink and paper that has been wasted.  It also seems a little unfair to me having to pay for the temporary termination of an "environmental damage", so I'm keeping my junk mail and will try make the most out of it. Nowadays there are many artists using waste as their art materials and I will try to follow their example an begin by making a bowl for my yarns.
