 Video: Driving Through Oaxaca to Monte Albán

 

Monte Alban, Oaxaca Mexico

Another quick post from my trip to Mexico, mostly video. This day (feb 2020) we drove up up up to the ruins at the top of a huge hill just outside of Oaxaca de Juaréz. Actually, I turned on the camera after we drove through a gigantic intersection of death. Okay not death, near death haha. I thought something else wild might happen, but not especially. 
 
 
It is a neat view of the side streets of the city, each turn becoming steeper and steeper until we drove along the cliff to the very top.

The ruins were amazing, I believe one of the largest sites in Mexico. We had breakfast at the beautiful little restaurant overlooking the city. I feel so lucky to have been able to celebrate my 50th juuuust before they locked everything down for covid. More stories and videos to come.

Some years ago I started making these and spread them around to many friends and unsuspecting acquaintances. I believe they originated during the 70s cheesy crafts era, which I completely adore. Many a birthday party have I attended bringing a 6 pack of beer, a skein of yarn, a couple compact tools... and a few hours later, left the host with a special party hat and gift made right before his drunken eyes. Now YOU can be that fascinating craft nerd, amazing your friends at parties. Or just drinking and crocheting at home.  Al

Make the Base (Top):   I call this part of the hat the Base because that's where a hat usually begins. Crochet the Base of the hat from the Basic Hat Pattern . Work in the dc stitches as described until the underlined number is 4. You should end up with a nice circle that has 60 sts around the outer edge. Do not tie off. 6. Join the Base to the Crown: Hold the Crown and the Base wrong sides together with the labels facing you and matching up the stitches as you work. Sl st into any st at top edge of Crown, *insert hook through sa
