Another Crochet Project: Minion Hats

Aren't my two little Minions adorable?

I started these crocheted hats towards the beginning of March and finished them the day before my c-section.  Catherine even brought them to the hospital when she got to meet her brother!

Pattern Notes:

I used Repeat Crafter Me's free pattern and made adjustments as necessary.  My stitches must be quite a bit tighter than Sarah's, so I added numerous rows/stitches.  Catherine wanted her Minion to be a girl with a blue flower, so that's what I did!  There's a small blue flower on one side.  She also insisted that Dominic's Minion have two eyes and hers have only one.  Once the eyes were on the newborn hat there really wasn't room to add a mouth, so I simply left that off.  The general consensus among the family was to leave off the ties -- although I'm still debating adding them.  What do you think?

WIPS: Or Not . . .

Well, to be honest, I haven't touched a crochet hook or knitting needle since "Porcupine" was born.  (His official name is Dominic, don't worry!)

I did finish crocheting the matching Minion hats that Catherine wanted in time for Dominic's arrival.  Here are my two cuties wearing their hats in the hospital.  (A full post on these hats, with much better pictures, will follow . . . someday.)

My crochet and knitting "to do" list is ever growing!  I saw this crocheted cardigan pattern that looks pretty and fairly simple.  I think I will have to try it soon(ish).

Just curious, did any of you lovely readers manage to master crocheting and/or knitting while nursing?  Is it possible?

I will be sharing this post at the following:

WIPS: The Snowman Scarf, Matching Hats, Etc.

My Quaere Fibre yarn infinity scarf is just about finished!  Catherine has taken to calling this the "Snowman Scarf".  I have no idea why.

Don't forget to enter the giveaway for a skein of yarn like the one I'm using above!   

I've started Catherine and Porcupine's matching Minion hats.

Also, I have a Craftsy Crochet or Knitting Class Giveaway happening right now!
