Well...it started out as a scarf. I have now tried two different hat patterns with it...and just have not found the right one yet.

The d...I've never had a negative review... yet. The day I do, I will take it as a reminder to check what I'm doing, if it's done properly or does it need changing, etc...<br><br>As for the worst advice: "Shake it off, it's all in your head" re: fibromyalgia<br><br>As for the best advice: "Take it one day at a time" re: caring for my newborn severely disabled son 26 years ago.<br><br>As for what I'd tell someone: That's difficult because it depends on the situation. But as a general piece of advice I'd give.... "Be true to yourself, you have to live with you" and this one "Live your life to the best of your abilities"<br><br>As for who I turn to for good advice: I have 3 people I can count on to make sense of things in my head, my darling husband, and 2 of the best friends I could have ever asked for :) Sue & Samm hmmm... interesting they both begin with S :D<br><br>I have made so many things along the way that have ended up either frogged or in the donation box I've stopped counting. I usually chalk those up to gaining experience or learning a new technique, stitch, how not to write a pattern, etc... I've also found that if it's a book and there appears to be errors, I go online to see if there is an errata. If not, I check Ravelry to see if the designer can be found there and send a PM to double check the directions. I've actually tried patterns, found an error, wrote the designer who was shocked that no one had caught the error since the pattern had been published for several years already. Was thankful that it had been found and the correction was made in the form of a published errata. Pretty cool :)<br><br>I've seen a lot of patterns who tell you to continue in pattern for x rows. Depending what the pattern is, it usually works, but I have had times where continuing in pattern didn't work and there is no guidance available anywhere. That's when a project gets frogged and that particular designer/publisher gets a black mark. Next time I see one of their books, I usually will take a much closer look at pattern directions to see if they make sense before I'll spend my money.<br><br>I just got my new reading glasses this week so haven't read an actual book in a while. But the one I'm planning on reading very soon is called "Odd Girl Out; the hidden culture of aggression in girls" by Rachel Simmons. It's an amazing book that explains why girls behave the way they do and how society has conditioned them to be this way. The strength of this book is that it illustrates the experience of female bullying in a personal manner, with girls sharing their stories in their own words. I recognized many of the situations as being the same as the ones I was involved in as a child. I was the favourite mark for many a bully while I was in school. I would recommend this book to anyone who has school age daughters as a tool to help them get through those rough years and perhaps break the bullying mould.<br><br>As for what I've been working on this week. A test knit of a scarf for another designer. It's almost done and I'm really loving it. Unfortunately, I can't say what it is but I'm sure the pattern will hit Ravelry sooner than later. :)MarieAngehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16910017312039268145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055398897301604180.post-63001562226959131972012-05-25T14:44:44.217+01:002012-05-25T14:44:44.217+01:00Wow fantastic advice.I never used to wear hats but...Wow fantastic advice.<br><br>I never used to wear hats but I’ve found a few crochet patterns where you can alter the look of them by turning them up at one side etc and so far I think they look alright. I also love newsboy hats.

I've yet to find a hat that actually suits me, so I usually don't knit them except watch caps for charity. <br><br>As for negative reviews, I think the important thing is to be honest without being mean-spirited. Constructive criticism can be very helpful, particularly if it leads to improving something. When you publish something it isn't realistic to expect that everyone will love everything about it, is it?<br><br>I've benefitted from a lot of good advice in my time.

I've found a cap type one that I might try instead. I love cloches but I am trying not to make another one ;-). I know a friend that gives hers to charity, which I think is a fantastic idea but I loved the yarn too much and really want a hat made with it.SusanD1408 Crochet Addicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08916712346884443545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1055398897301604180.post-17134645256340219302012-05-25T11:43:34.015+01:002012-05-25T11:43:34.015+01:00Thank you ever so much!
