I Finished the Hat
I wish I had taken notes on my last Cobblestone Cap.. I couldn't figure out the brim. But this is what I came up with, since I didn't have the same amount of stitches when I was done with my hat: First off, I counted how many stitches I did have. Then I subtracted 24, and divided the remaining stitches in half. That was the number of the stitch I began my work in, counting from the last stitch worked. And, I started with my work facing away from me. So that all the remaining rows would make sense. I'm writing all my notes down this time, in case I ever make another one.And I finally finished it today. Trust me, it looks better on the lamp than it does on me. The other day was "Buttermilk Cinnamon Pie" Day. One of my friends from my old quilt group posts what day it is, every day. "Left Handers Day". "National Multivitamin Day". "National Ceiling Fan Day". You get the picture. Well I googled a recipe for Buttermilk Cinnamon Pie. I wasn't going to make one. I just wanted to see how you make it... Well guess what? I made one...😏
In my honest opinion, it wasn't worth all the work to make vs. the taste. My husband and son said, "It's good." "Yeah, that's cuz you didn't have to make it." Lol.

Old Project In My Memories
This picture was in my Facebook memories today. With a hashtag cobblestonecap. I looked on my blog, it wasn't there. I couldn't find it anywhere. So I went on Ravelry and typed it in the search engine and found the pattern. So I must have made this (or, finished it on Septmeber 12th, 2017.) I don't know what I had going on then, why I didn't post about it. But if it was when we lived in Oregon, that in itself would explain why. Also I was about 20 lbs thinner there (Oregon)... Most depressing place I've lived in. ~Anyway!!~ Someone had asked on FB if I still had this hat, and I went and looked in my closet and I do!! I was so happy. With all the times we've moved.. After I found the hat, it made me want to crochet another one, in a different color. 😀 Of course, purple!! I had a hard time with round 3. But I read through the pattern and watched the video about that stitch, and I figured it out. I almost forgot, this is the link for the pattern.I was craving salt today. We don't have any junk food in the house. But I have some crackers, and have some flavored cream cheese leftover, from when we got bagels a while ago. It was pretty good! if you don't have any ready-made junk food/snacks, and you have crackers and flavored cream cheese, you could try it. Another idea is if you don't have any chocolate milk or syrup, you could try maple syrup in milk. An old friend of our family used to make this for her youngest in a bottle. Have to get creative to make snacks, with the price of groceries now.
