Flower added...

As I said in the post below I thought the pink hat would look nice with the addition of a crocheted flower so this is what I did, I made a flower & added a button & sewed it to my hat.  I like it even more now (& it keeps my head warm while I'm biking!).

Bit of Knitting


It has been really cold here but I didn't realise how cold & windy it was the other day when out with hubby so didn't have my hat so I hat to buy one from Asda for £5, later I looked at it & thought I could probably knit one for myself...so I did.  I'm not the most proficient knitter but I do enjoy it especially with chunky wool & big wooden needles & I made a couple of hats one pink & one blue (they took an evening each).  The pattern is HERE if you're interested :o)


I also learned to crochet fairly recently & think I might crochet a big flower to go on the pink one (this is the one I wear when I bike to work) :o)

I'm linking this up at 2 Creative Chicks Anything Goes challenge & also Craftaholics Anonymous Friday Friends Link Party & Made by you Monday over at Skip To My Lou.  Thanks to Alexanda's comment I've now linked to her Yarn Fanatic Linky Party too :o)

2015...

I'm hoping to get to do some more sewing (& knitting & crocheting) this year & hopefully will update this blog as much as I do my papercrafting one :o)  That's the plan anyway but we all know life has a habit of getting in the way.
