I've been crafting in my spare time.
Making hat bands for morris hats is a nice way of having small projects for me to try out techniques.
Here's the crochet hat band (worn by me):

And the tablet woven hat band (modelled by my husband, Richard, who isn't actually a morris man, but really looks the part):

I may post more about tablet weaving. It's an interesting technique and needs very little in the way of equipment. Namely: a pack of playing cards, scissors, a ruler and a hole punch, plus yarn. A strong belt, a shuttle and a small clamp are handy, but not essential.
