quick trip to the seaside

After finishing my crochet hearts for valentine's day I decided that I needed another small project while working on my vivid dreams afghan.

 I picked up The Chicks with Sticks Guide to Crochet from my local library and decided on the surfer chick quick cap as I have always wanted a pretty girlie beanie. I bought a ball of Cleckheatons Country Tartans on Saturday and started crocheting on Sunday morning.

Despite being a busy day, I had the cap finished by Sunday evening. I highly recommend this pattern as a quick crochet fix, this variation of shell stich is interesting and it took approximately four hours to make. On monday we had our photo shoot, at the beach of course!
