Happy New Year to All! To start the year, I would like to share my last project for the year 2013 – the Lightning
McQueen Crochet Hat.
Matt is a certified fan of
Cars. He knows the major characters like McQueen, Hudson, Sally, Mater, Sheriff
and Mac. He even called my service car as McQueen (Red Picanto), his Tito’s
Pick-up as Hudson and our neighbor’s black car as Sheriff.
Last Christmas, we decided
to have him a Cars-inspired outfit - clothes and shoes. To complete the set
from head to foot, I made a Lightning McQueen crochet hat. Nakakakonsensya kasi yung sabi ni Mommy: “Andami natin nagawang hats
for others this year, pero wala pa tayo nagagawa para kay Matthew.” This is
one of the reasons why we closed the MTOs at Momaye’s Shoppe on the first week
of December.
This is a real customized
project since Matt picked the design from the photos in the internet and I made
it without the pattern. Here is our conversation while choosing for the design
he wants:
Me: Matt, ano gusto mo na
McQueen? (Showing photos from the internet)
Matt: Eto na lang kaya?
(Pointing on the one with an earflap)
Me: Eh, ito ung may gulong
na black?
Matt: Eto na lang kaya?
‘Yung may gulong na black.
Suddenly he added.
Matt: Eto na lang kaya?
‘Yung may 95 na yellow.
Take note of his special
request “95 na yellow” should be there. Buti
na lang hindi nya ni-request yung word na “Rusteze”. Hehehe.
Here is Matthew wearing the
Lightning McQueen Hat (not yet finished). Medyo napasubo lang kasi dami palang embellishments but feels fulfilled after finishing it on
Christmas Eve and seeing him happy wearing it on Christmas Day.
