Where can I get a crochet baby hat?

[vacaloca]

I saw a luvly crochet baby/toddler hat in etsy but it's from someone based in Canada and it would take weeks to arrive. Does anyone know where I could get something similar from the UK?

You could probably knock one up in five minutes.

Brora?
R surprised there isn't one on Etsy.

squeaky - I doubt it. I took me months to knit the simplest scarf from Debbie Bliss, so I'm not about to start crocheting.

I just checked Brora but it's very expensive and not really what I was after.

Crochet is so much faster than knitting. You really can make a whole outfit in an evening. A baby hat sounds like half and hour's work.

Fancy making one for me? I'll show the picture and you can tell me how much it'd be.

i can make you one.

oh yes link and then purple and i can have a competition to see who can make the best one.

yeah. sure. heh heh....

crochet hooks at dawn!

are you on ravelry purpledw?

no. what's that?
not something else to get addicted to is it??

omg, it is fantastic how come you ahve not heard of it? ravelry.com. you have to join but is is great and there is a mumsknitters group.

i've put in for my invitation!

whoohoo! say goodbye to your family and friends for a while.

oh Dh will be thrilled!

still waiting for the link to the hat BTW!!

ooohhh, a competition . I feel a bit disloyal to this etsy woman but it's far too cold at the moment to wait weeks for the hat. I can't decide between this one or this other one. It's for DS who is 7 months. I love the visor ones in the last photo too for DD1 (5.1) and DD2 (2.9), or possibly this one for DD1 and this one for DD2. Oh choices choices...

v. cute do you have colour or yarn preferences?

Priority is DS though, who is hatless at the moment. The DDs have hats already so would have to think whether I'd get them more (depending on £££).

I prefer the brown ones (quite retro), like the middle one. Do you think he'll hate me forever when he sees the photos when he's older?

will ahve a bash tonight. i ahve a niece of 6 months so will check size. will send you picture and you can decide if you like. can you cat me?

just did. Thank you.

am thoroughly intimidated now!
but! never one to shy away from a challenge...(yeah right)
i'll whip something up based on what you like and post a photo.
any chance you could measure your DS's head? i don't have any 6mo babies around...

aha! i have teh actual 6 months baby to use advantage - i'll whip your ass!

how long does the cat thing normally take?

yeah well i have brown wool already! ha HA!
(seriously i'm bricking it now.... )

i have brown wool too! [stares hard]

actually i looked at your cutie crocheted things in your profile and reckon i should bow out!
