Crochet hat for G.G. daughter's B'day. Nail file slips Dragonflyer graciously gave me her design but couldn't figure an easy way to monogram ea. sooo 18" of Grogain ribbon, 6 to a hoop and monogram, take out fold over ea. end and sew. Have made 30 and have 30 more to go. 1 for ea lady at church, 1 for women in club and 14 + for daughter & G. daughter to give as gifts to students at school who have helped in Library. The Crochet hat pattern came from "The WHOot" free.

So cute, I missed this one! Kay

That hat is something else. The ribbons as nail file holders is a very nice gift, pretty and practical.
