    yeah...I tried to make my own tam and it came out looking like fuck all

    I know chemigals does great stuff, I'm probably going to order one from her when I get money, she has an etsy site

    It isn't too difficult to learn how to make your own tams if you really want to. You can't just expect the first one to come out looking perfect either. Practice a few times and you will be able to do it not to mention it is a lot cheaper to make your own.

    I knit hats and I am learning crochet but my main thing to knit are socks.

    i just started crocheting slouch hats specifically to cover up my hair. lol. i'm building stock right now for my etsy shop- i'll be reopening June 1st for that. here's some of what i've made so far, though some of them have already been sold...

    sorry they aren't all IMG codes, but you get the picture. I'm working with a cotton/acrylic blend yarn now that is lightweight for summer

    I also agree with gretaoto- it's really easy to learn to make your own:) but if that doesn't strike your fancy by all means, check out sites like etsy.com- plenty of handmade stuff there.
