I had this small skein of Magic Ball hanging around the apartment, and I wanted a new hat. It wasn't really enough for a good winter hat, but it was enough for a kind of fun little hat. So I made a pill box.
It's exactly not something I could see Jackie O wearing. Hence the nickname.
The yarn was a bit of a bear to work with. "Magic Ball" is a series of knotted-together fun yarns, so it was sort of like trying out a sampler. I liked how ribbon crocheted into a really stiff fabric. Fancy fur was just unmanageable. And if you ever hear me suggest that crocheting something out of mohair boucle might be a good idea, just hit me. My consolation is that at least mohair fuzz hides a lot of sins, because this mohair has plenty to hide. At one point I was just sort of stabbing at it and hoping the resulting knot looked reasonably crocheted.
I've been sick for the last week. Don't I make a nice hat model?
