hehe i finished my tam *grin* its not great i didnt count my stitches too well as i didnt use a pattern i totally made it up (as i always do :S) and its slightly too small so its a bit tight when i wear it but aside from that im pretty darn proud of myself hehe thats it from the side the picture quality is crap cam but its made from a khaki/sandy colour and a nice greyish blue. i dont know if you can see but the band that runs around the side is a mix of both wool bits it goes from sandy on the top to a mix to blue thats it from tha back *smiley* and thats meeee!! (wearing it)
super job wifey! i used to make hella tams...i got so sick of makin them! they are easy to perfect tho...that is awesome for a first go..much better than mine! mwaaaaah
Aww thanks guys Hey arlia, suppermommy, do you have as pattern i could use?? i totally just made it up as i went so i think its not soooo bad. but i think if i knew how many stitches i was supposed to add and when then it would be better Also how do you know how big the rim is?? :S i measured it so it would be about 21inches which is the width around my head, maybe i should have made it slightly bigger cos it wont go over my head easily :S and yea its actually pretty easy to make, i just need to get a bigger crochet hook cos my stitches were so small that along with new year and work it took me a week to finish this!!!
i dont have any patterns, id like to follow some though, allthe tamsiv made iv jsut kinda developed the way i do itby changing the stictches all the time, i usually make mine really big and then srink the stitches once it is wide enough...... anyways theyre looking great, maybe we could swap sometime?
im guessing you would like something purple! il see what i can whip up in the next few days.......i ahve a big bag of wool i havnt looked in yeT!
actually something other than purple would be nice *blush* i have sooo much purplke now,im really likeing browns and greens and things these days. need some variation. what would you like??
ah thats cool fleass i have some really nice greeny browny grey double knit wool that crochets really well! hmmmmmm waht would i like......im going througha brown and burgandy phase at the moment! cool!
cool do you want a tam or one of the draw string tube hats ive started making. i like them loads I think you'd look cute in one. but i'll do you a tam if you want. weither way whats the measurement around your head, along the hairline?
ohhhhhhhh lovely i dont know how my head measures! LOL make me a really floppy tam! i lvoe them floppy! il measure m,y head for you when i get home!
