a family of hats

I finished my sisters beanie hat on Thursday night, the colour is perfect, aqua green/blue. The colour really suits the blackberry stitch and the best thing is my sister loved it, phew.

I drove away from my sisters house last night singing along to Luther Vandross with a smile on my face, its satisfying  giving a hand made gift and knowing the recipient appreciated it. I now have a request from Megan (my niece) and luckily I'd already bought the wool in anticipation that she'd like it too! Hers will be in denim blue for the fashion conscious 18 year old. And her sister Yasmin will be receiving one in grey, but she doesn't know it yet. A whole family of knitted hats, that's cute.

There is nothing like a hand crafted gift, made with love. I loved the aqua colour of the hat.

That's a great pattern, the yarn really makes the stitch stand out - no wonder you now have more requests!

Denim Daisy Granny Square construction

And here it is all finished last Friday, just in time for a heat wave! Seriously I do love this jumper and it fits so well with a white t shirt underneath, jeans and flip flops. Just waiting for the cold spell so that I can wear it out (rather than around the garden when its cooled down in the evenings!). I haven't written a pattern as such just some helpful notes from my pad. If people want to know how to construct one have added some notes below. As you know the Daisy Granny Square is the design of Sue Pinner from her book  Granny Squares published 2013. I do love Sue's book, its packed with so many projects and ideas and the photos are beautiful. The daisy granny square pattern is quite addictive and you soon have a small pile of them in no time! I have an idea to make another one for the autumn in the same Debbie Bliss Rialto DK yarn but all edged in shade 90 honey, I have enough in my stash. Construction  Notes:  You need to make 18 grann...

My granny tee is finished

You might remember this post from about ten days ago, well I've now finished my 4th granny tee and I'm currently finishing off my fifth one this week that I stared last year (oops). Indigo Blue came about when I took delivery of my Scheepjes Skies mini skien box (heavy/aran) and I'm in love with this yarn! I was sitting watching a film when I had the sudden urge to crochet another Granny Tee by Sarah (aka annaboos house) The mini skeins are perfect and I ended up using two boxes plus a larger 100g skein for the sleeves and joining. It has amazing drape and the colours are a subtle shift of indigo that is going to look fabulous over a white t shirt with jeans and flip flops. Perfect partnership and so bang on trend for the tie dye look that's about for festivals for this summer.  The total cost was around GBP35 not including delivery and I think for a custom made jumper that's not a bad price. I measured it as I added rows then I added side slits to my g...
