What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?

When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

very cute! what pattern did you use?
oops, nevermind, guess I should read better the 1st time! LOL
very cute! I can't knit or crochet, so I bought some adorable crocheted ones from Brooke at this blog … http://brookie-wookie.blogspot.com/2010/01/handmade-crocheted-head-wraps-for-sale.html
and I want to say that I found your blog from reading hers anyway? There is some kind of connection there anyway. Maybe she can hook you up with a pattern. Love your blog!
I am off to get this pattern. My duaghter will absolutely love this. Thanks for sharing.
is there a more boyish pattern or just omit the flower? i do not think any of my 5 boys would wear the flower… :-)
Found this –

What a sweet smile she has and the headband looks adorable on her!
How much of the yarn did that take?? I have some leftover green & leftover off-white of the same Walmart yarn. I wanted to make this when I saw the original pattern but didn't even think about my Walmart yarn.
I would love a crochet pattern since I can't knit! I also love the crochet ear flap hats, but when I link to the etsy site, there only 6-24 month size patterns. Is it easy to make the hat bigger?
Looks great! Well done! Here are a couple I have on my to-do list –

Cheers!
Look at that cute smile! And the headband is adorable too.
Amy,
I actually taught myself to crochet because of all the cute stuff you posted. I learned by watching videos on youtube.com! I'm not great, but I've made a few projects that turned out very cute.
This lady helped me with a pattern for an ear warmer similar to the one you made. I knew what I was looking for, but had a difficult time finding a pattern to follow. She had one made for an American Girl doll and it was exactly what I wanted.. so she was kind enough to convert it to an adult size wrap. I wear it more forward and angle it over my ears. I attached a large button to the back. I also changed it up a bit b/c I wanted a double crochet, instead of single. It came out pretty cute! I want to try to modify it a bit and make one for my girls. It went together quickly using Lion's brand Thick and Chunky yarn (vivid green with black trim and a black flower).
Here's the link to Carol's site:

If you try it and make any changes to it, I'd love to see what you do :)
thanks,
amy
oh, I should have mentioned that I probably made it about 11 double crochet wide. I didn't want it to fall too far back on my head, so I made it a bit thinner than her pattern. If you want a picture of the finished project, email me and I'll send you one :)

That is really cute! My daughters both love those ear warmer headbands, but they are so big! I would love to make smaller sizes that fit them!
Very cute! Thanks for the sweet comment about my appearance today. I am glad it's over!
