Selfish Crochet

So, my 'no crafting in January' resolution didn't work out! I lasted 4.5 days. 

Then, a lady on Instagram let me in on a delicious idea - January is #selfishknitting month! Isn't that great? 

Now I've been spending my days working on projects just for me. I'll share my knitting project another day, because I finished this hat today and wanted to show it off!


Another lady on Instagram suggested it needed a Pom Pom.


(Roman modeling for me!)

I'm so very happy with how it turned out. I found a basic tutorial on Pinterest, but added 2 more increase rounds to fit my noggin.

2 rows of single crochet to finish it off and of course a big, fluffy Pom Pom.

How about you? Any selfish projects happening at your place?

  4. What a neat pattern. I really like the colors you used! I'm actually knitting for myself too (has happened almost never).. my mom insisted I pick out a birthday gift that was special for me only, so I chose yarn and knitting needles!
    (Please don't take this the wrong way, but maybe no crafting for a whole month wasn't such a good idea anyhow?)
    Warmly, Renee :)

    1. I've certainly realised the error of my ways ;)
