Our pemuda group had a camping trip 2 weeks ago. One of the thing I am afraid the most about the trip is enduring the cold at night. Bay area weather never requires us to own a beanie and don't want to buy one just for the trip.
It started as i browse around the Goodwill's store. I love looking for stationeries: colored papers, file divider, crafting supplies, you name it! I give credit for my friend at Montessori school for getting me plugged in to this store!
I saw a roll of pretty heavy yarn on the store. It sells for $ 1.59, and i impulsively bought it. I have crochet sticks from way before (even before Max Tan was born!) But never really have a completed projects before (booo!) I do realized that i had too thin of a yarn before, so this time i get a heavier one hoping that the project will finish faster :)
I followed instructions from this tutorial. The result totally surprised me!! Well, let's be honest, it's not the neatest stitch, but i can't stop taking about it! I made it! The hat, as humble as it is, have me delight :)
I have better understanding on how God takes delight in us because we are His!
Anyways, I completed the work the night I brought it home. It took me about 4 hours to complete. Is there any project that you've been meaning to try? Trust me, if i can complete a hat, You can do anything you set your mind to!
Hope this post encouraged you to go and try DIY projects for your own :)
NICE work, auntie Fonda!
