Baby Beanie...

 

hello!

 

i'm practising...

practising making baby beanies.

 

i haven't made anything for a baby to wear in a long long time.

 

so i found myself a pattern...

and a baby...

and this is the beanie i've made.

 

 

 

now i haven't fitted it on the baby yet...

no, it's not 'baby bean'...

it's another baby that i found at church.

i asked it's mum whether i could knit him a beanie

and she said 'yes'!

 

 

 

so tomorrow

i'll take the beanie to church

and try it on her baby.

 

 

 

it isn't the same as the pattern

'cos when i'd finished the first bit

i realised it was going to be too thick to be doubled over again...

now it looks a bit like a tiny blue chef's hat..hehe!

 

 

 

well...

tomorrow we'll see.

i may have to frog it if it looks too funny.

 

but...

i have been on ravelry

and have uploaded several more baby beanie patterns...

 

 

so...

 

i could always try again.

I'm Done!

 

good afternoon!

 

for the first time in a while

i've got the whole day free...

ms s helped get the house ship shape yesterday

&

i've no other commitments today...yay!

 

 

 

so i was able to spend most of the morning knitting...

click click clacking away

on my fuschia needles...

 

&

i'm done.

 

finished.

 

completed.

 

 

 

no more 'splendour' beanies for me.

 

 

 

i think i've finished about fourteen or fifteen

and that's enough.

i've made three out of the scraps from the others...hehe!

 

 

 

i'm not done with beanies though...

so watch this space.

Green Beanie...

 

good afternoon!

 

it's another rainy day...

another one.

can you believe it?

it seems like it's been raining forever here...

since january!

 

well at least rain = inside

&

inside = cosy

&

cosy = knitting or reading or movies hehe!

 

 

a friend bought some green wool...

 

i knitted up the green beanie.

 

it's the slouchiest one i've made yet.

 

at first she bought me the wool

to make it up to give away...

when she looked at it

she fell in love.

now it's going back home with her!

{i have others to give ... so maria, don't fear!}

 

when i first started knitting it

i didn't really like the green

&

thought i may have to find a lady leprechaun to like it!

 

just shows

even friends

can have radically differing tastes...

in beanies, at least.

 



 

i bought this african violet yesterday.

it's a present to myself.

 

do you buy yourself presents too?

 

i hope you find something nice for yourself this weekend...

you deserve a treat!
