I enjoyed the tapestry crochet, but I have a tendency to make it too tightly which I will have to work on. After I finished the hat I gave it a good stretch and it now fits great. I got the fishbone pattern from an article in a machine knitting magazine on African motifs. The yellow yarn was a small ball of yarn leftover from the cornmeal cardigan, and I had just enough to finish the pattern with barely a foot left. I have some patterns somewhere for some animal prints, and that would look great on this hat too, so I will have to hunt for those.
We had the inlaws over for Sunday lunch and my MIL brought me a whole bag of lovely yarn leftover from her baby afghans, so I will have to get busy and knit up some kid hats for the mission, too.
