"My friends, meet a thing of simple beauty: The Light Keeper's Cap. Ever since I learned the Herringbone Half Double Crochet stitch I've been wanting to make something special with it. My husband and I are huge lighthouse buffs. When I saw the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse, I was sold. We took the lighthouse tour. I'm always amazed at the lives Lighthouse keeper's led. And that's when I knew. I knew the name of this cap I was working on would be named for those brave men and women who tend to the lights that guide our way in the world. Inspired? Let's start!"
