Post Holiday and Another Beginning

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend.  I know I did.  I finally bought a pattern I have been wanting for a while now.  I have been practicing on it all week and I think I have finally figured out how to properly do it.  (I have never learned how to read a crochet pattern.)  It has taken quite a bit of trial and error, ripping it all back out and starting over.  I don't have a finished project yet, but I hope to soon.  I am working on a viking hat.  I got the pattern from www.mamachee.etsy.com.  I will post a picture when I am closer to done because it is difficult to make out.  Come back and check on the progress!

Thanks!
