'Old Hat' to me…or shall I say 'Old Beanie' to me?
Cat in the hat, Easter Hat and so
it goes on and on and on.
Old Hat – Interesting where it comes from :-You would say "old hat" when referring to an activity that you
know really well. The term comes from the fact that many occupations wear
different hats (or used to). Contractors, nurses, policemen, firemen, etc.
If something is "old hat" to you, you know it really well
.(off the internet)
Which hat suits me personally?
. Everyday it will be another one. (sometimes I feel I deserve the Dunce Hat
when it comes to working on the computer, but that is another story for my tik
tok brain) Cook’s chef hat. Gardener’s
sun-flop hat, Posh wedding hat, Paris beret, Beach Hat, Safari Hat -
I will one day be
remembered as the lady of many hats.
Each one will be ‘old hat’ to me as I have
tried them all for so long –all on
different occasions. Maybe that is where my love-affair (if you can call it
that, in the craft world) with hats come
from. Dare to be different-try it all-keep the best.
I have knitted many a beanie
in my life time and here are some to share with you. The patterns are all in my
head, as I create as I knit. I just love it if someone is happy to receive one
of my creations. Knitting them is ‘Old hat’ to me! Or shall I say, 'Old Beanie' to
me!
Here I go for GREAT BRITAIN
COLOURS with pride - to celebrate the forthcoming sports that is starting
tomorrow all over England with the little circles. I shout for Red, Blue and White! Go
Britain! All the very Best. Also best to all the countries that are here to participate.
