So I remedied that--with a strip of black underwear elastic. Yes...underwear elastic. It was black and not overly strong, so it was perfect.
Since we have begun attending a church that encourages headcoverings for the ladies, my vintage hat collection has increased. My mother gave me this cute black 'straw' 1950's hat recently. It is in great shape, except for one little thing--the elastic band designed to loop under the hair was shot. Dead. So I remedied that--with a strip of black underwear elastic. Yes...underwear elastic. It was black and not overly strong, so it was perfect. I may just end up wearing this to church this weekend...

My knitting needles have been fairly busy lately...seems like when I'm down on a herx-crash that I do an awful lot of sock knitting. (It feels useful and I have sold a few pairs over the last couple of months.) Here's the latest two pairs: Looks like I was on a variegated kick, doesn't it? I think that first pair looks nice and manly...and that second one reminds me of the 4th of July for some reason.... I really was uncertain as to how the second pair was going to look, but was really tickled with how the pattern worked out. (It even worked out that both heels, where they turn, ended up with cream spots!) At anyrate, the next pair, which has yet to go on the needles, is going to be red--a nice bright, cheery red--which also so happens to be one of my most favorite colors. :) ~~Racheal~~ |
