Time for a Tam

     I went to a local yarn store to check out their stock in search of yarn for flowers. Once I had the yarn, it sat in my room for awhile. I decided that the yarn was too pretty to be just a decoration so I decided to make a hat out of it.  I used

my boyfriend's tam for a guide. I think it took me two or three days to finish it. I wish I had a few more yards to make more of a brim. I'm working on another tam out of a thinner, black cotton yarn and I will put a larger brim on it. Perhaps some little change pockets or something in it as well.  The only thing about working  with the thinner yarn is that it takes longer to make things. Also the design for the black one is much larger so it will take me quite awhile to finish. Especially since I'm engaged in the sampler project as well. I've gotten about thirty samples done. I've tied the squares to a longish piece of yarn so I can hang it up and easily see my options.
