Christmas Hats

Wed, 19 Jan 2011 12:49:33 +0100

It's a bit late into January to be sharing Christmas stuff but I only just got my last picture at lunch today. My Christmas knitting this year was all hats. I can't remember what put the idea into my head but it seemed very achievable so I went with it. It was a lot of fun to pick out a pattern and yarn for each person; I tried out three new yarns and two new patterns. Here's the run down:

For Mum:

Birthday Crafting

Shelley — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:52:28 +0100

I think I might spend every birthday in my sewing room after this. It was so relaxing to be sitting working on something just for me. I finished off three little projects for a new spring outfit and wore them out on Friday when we went out for lunch and shopping. Photo credits go to Rob.

I spent my morning finishing my Scrap Wrap and Muff from Denyse Schmidt Quilts. I enjoyed these p...

My New Hat: Part 2

Shelley — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 04:26:29 +0100

Here is my finished hat yarn. I spun the second braid of wool a little more evenly but about the same overall size (so basically with fewer big slubs) than the first skein. I wanted to make sure I'd actually have enough yarn to make my hat. It measured in at forty metres.

I started knitting my hat after dinner on Friday. The biggest double pointed needless I had around were 6...

My New Hat: Part 1

Shelley — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 07:38:02 +0100

It's really, really cold outside.

Really, really cold.

It was -44 degrees Celsius when we walked to work this morning.

I need a warmer hat.

I bought some wool from Erin on Saturday. One hundred grams of beautiful snowy white South African wool (which falls somewhere between Merino and Blue Faced Leicester on the fine wool scale).
