Hooked

My project this weekend was a new hat.  We are heading to the Star Wars exhibit at the Pacific Science Center this week (provided there aren't a flobitygillion sticky, loud, children there).

I thought something festive was in order.  

Yub nub.

My husband is a very good sport.  His head was sweaty.  Here is the other hat I made him.  He wears it while playing video games.  I think that's fitting.  

CAPtain (see, because it's a cap) America

The Ewok hat (yes, it's an ewok, even though it looks a little like Winnie the Pooh) was inspired by another project I took up last year.  All the Star Wars characters made from string.  Not yarn, but string.

You can see the stick he's holding is a toothpick.  He's roughly 1.5 inches tall.  Hairy little creature took about an hour to make.  

Here are his buddies. 

Princess Leia

R2D2

Yoda

I think R2D2 is my favorite.  He was the most fun to construct.  I also crocheted C3PO, Luke, Han, Chewy and Vader (3 times because he is such a pain) but they aren't as impressive as these guys.

I am well aware that I am a one trick pony.  I can't do much else aside from crochet and I'm fine with that.  But I can create just about anything from string.

Headbands

Flower clips

Baby hats

I made the hat, not the baby.

Wow, second post and already no reference to boots or left hands.  Well, uh, here.  All of these projects were completed in my house.  And my boots live in the garage of said house.  So, it's not that much of a stretch... right?
