For two days we were able to work from home, which means I was quite productive and drank all the coffee I wanted from a mug, not a thermal container. I didn\u2019t finish the scarf to accompany my hat. I started it and worked on a few rows and I like it. The first iteration of the hat was nice, but I decided that I didn\u2019t like it, so I ripped out a bit and made it so it would fit more snugly to my head (also allowing for ease and stretching). I finished up a scarf and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the last afghan. Then I feel like I can just let loose and really try some things. When I was searching for the yarn for the hat and scarf, I found some natural yarn that I bought for dyeing. I have drink mixes and food coloring ready for my endeavors. I forgot to search for Easter egg dye after this past Easter so I may keep some yarn in reserve so that I can dye some yarn in bright colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pictures are proof that I made a hat and though the pattern is similar, the one on the left is the one I ripped out and the right is the one I decided to keep (and wear).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190130_231550_182-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-615\" width=\"227\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190130_231550_182-1.jpg 704w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190130_231550_182-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/crochetmaven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_20190130_231550_182-1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fresh air was nice, especially after not leaving home since Tuesday.
