How long can one simple cap take to design?

A couple of days ago, I wrote about designing and crocheting a simple little ‘jazz cap’ for a friend who runs a wonderful bistro.
I got all excited and finished it up-
I was so inspired that I crocheted one for Jim, too….
No, that’s not Jim…. it’s one of our furkids who was insisting on being in my lap while I worked on the cap, so whaddya gonna do?
It’s his way of paying rent.
Anyhow, Jim wore it to his gig today. (At our friend’s bistro)
I was all excited about giving Harold his new cap. He put it on and said:
‘Nope….. it’s not quite right…. ‘
And then he showed me what wasn’t quite right.
Which is really quite helpful, as Jim’s isn’t quite right yet, either….
You can see him wearing it in this pic.
If you look at the lower right hand corner, you can see my table, which as always, is covered with yarn!
So, it’s back to the crochet hooks for these two caps, and then ~hopefully~ I will have a pattern for you!
By the way, I just levitated when Jim’s trio played one of his newest compositions, ‘Gypsy Girl’. It’s unbelievably gorgeous- I was utterly gobsmacked by it. And guess who he wrote it for?
yup.
me.
I hadn’t heard it with the trio playing it, as this was only their second time playing it in public. (I heard it being composed, but that is an entirely different kettle of fish, as each bar of music is polished like a genie’s lantern. And, I didn’t hear them practice, as they practice in the city, not out here at the farm.)
I can hardly wait for them to record it. wow.
