I told you I temporarily became a mad hatter when I discovered making my own strawhats. :D Here I used a chiffon cloth as a hatband - it's actually a juggling cloth usually used by kids to learn juggling. :-)
This hat was claimed by my aunt for gardening, and I'm glad it has a good home with her.
What is interesting here is that I used a slightly different paper yarn. Most Raffia will be broad and flat, but some are rolled and round and more yarn-like. See second picture for a direct comparison. This will in the end have an impact on your gauge and the size of your project, so it's a good thing to know.

Pattern: Summer Sun Hat by Wannipa Yunker (free on her site KnitcroAddict)
Yarn: Hobbii Paulina in Light Green

A light green crochet hat made from paper yarn is placed on a woven surface. The hat features a wide brim with a decorative openwork pattern around the edge and a dark green chiffon cloth tied around the base of the crown, with the ends of the ribbon extending outward.
Two balls of paperyarn are displayed on a dark textured surface on the lefthand side of the picture, with the ends extending outwards toward the right side. The green paperyarn at the top has a rolled and round texture, while the blue paperyarn at the bottom is broad and flat, more like a ribbon. The image highlights the difference in how the yarn is rolled, showcasing the contrasting shapes and textures

Fluffy #knitting samplers in my Chaos #The100DayProject !
There's another Red Heart Calista now in beige, and two extremely soft Novita Palma squares. The Palma #yarn was so soft that my husband wanted snuggle the yarn and patch while I knitted.
I started working on a little experiment with 2 yarns that I will hopefully be able to show off tomorrow. I'm not generally a big fan of these acrylic and polyamide yarns, so I'm happy to knit with real wool tomorrow.

3 sample squares. A baby blue, soft and snuggly square, a very fluffy beige one that looks kind of like a square tribble, and a white soft and snuggly square. In the top right corner, there's a superimposed photo of the two snuggly novita squares next to their ball of yarn.

What is the strangest item I've ever crocheted? Probably this large and small intestine, complete with colon that I made for the doctor that gave me my life back. I had over 50 surgeries between 2020-2021 for an infection that wouldn't subside. I am a chronically ill and disabled individual, something you probably wouldn't notice when first meeting me (unless I'm using my mobility aids). #knitting and #crocheting have been super important outlets in my life. It keeps my mind busy and gives me something to do on days where it's too painful or exhausting to do anything else. I gave my surgeon this right before my 50th surgery with him joking that if things were really bad in there to just replace everything with this lol. He got a good laugh and when I went in for my second surgery for the week (I was doing 2 surgeries/week for a long while) he said that it made a great pillow lol. #crochet #amigurumi #handmade #gift #yarn
A crochet intestinal system. The large colon is a dark redish pink. The small intestine is a light pink and has a blushing smiley face embroidered/ painted on it.

#The100DayProject of #knitting my #yarn swatch blanket continues.
The black is a mystery yarn from before.

Top right is Schoppel-Wolle Reggae Ombré. You can't see the ombré effect here but it's also pink, purple, and deep green.
Bottom left is super fluffy Red Heart Calista. I don't even know which direction it goes in or was knitted in - it's so fluffy.
Bottom right is Rico Creative Galaxy Chunky, so called because it has black sequins that sparkle within it.

4 knitted patches next to each other other. Black, teal, a very fluffy brown which looks kind of like it's an animal, and a gradient with black sequins.

Before we dive into more hats, let's do #wipwednesday . I have a few WIPs going, but I'm rather intruiged with that one. LOTS of bobbles in many variations, so much structure. It's going to be spectacular. :-)

Pattern: Lucky moments by Julita Janicka (I adore her designs!)
Yarn: 3ply cotton/polyacryl blend from a Bobbelscheune Adventcalendar

A partially completed crochet project in a vibrant gold yellow and orange color is displayed on a gray surface. The intricate pattern features various stitches and designs, including scalloped edges, floral motifs and tiny snails. A ball of the same gold yellow yarn and a red-handled crochet hook are placed next to the project.
