The days are getting colder and wetter and I have a gazillion practical things on my to knit and crochet list. Scarves and beanies and jumpers and legwarmers and gloves and and and... But when I found a picture of this hat on pinterest, I just knew it'd have to jump the queue and take the number one spot.
Who can resist a rainbow granny beanie??
Not me! That's for sure.
I used this wonderful pattern.
I used a 4.5 hook.
I used lots of scrappy bits of yarn.
I added the ears just because I like ears on beanies.
I crocheted it last night and sewed the ends in this morning.
It makes me happy.
What's making you happy at the moment?
What sort of things jump to the top of your to do list?
What are you making?
Are you going to crochet a rainbow granny beanie?
Have you ever used a recipe/pattern/idea off pinterest?

The weather is making me happy- sunny yesterday and I planted 225 bulbs (which will make me very happy in Spring!), more overcast today so I am sewing (she says in an excited breathy voice). Theres quinces to be jellied (no paste this year I think, to disastrous last year, and I realised after all that hard work that no one really eats it!).
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Tanya, this weather is divine. Her excitement in the comment is catchy but what I really wanted to say is
ReplyDeletemy freshly swept driveway,
this house,
beginnings of some patchworking,
finding a heap of ready cut, made, and almost done Juniper boots when I cleaned out the studio, (woo hoo)
being alone,
the sometimes rain.
and the pinterest thing, well im about to endeavour to make this gigantic cotton reel holder I spotted. Looks simple but well see wont we?
I go through so much thread its insane.

I haven't made much this week, had my face and arm stitched up
after a couple of moles removed - lovely! Eva had one removed from
her leg as it had changed so much in 3 months.XXX
I am a gypsy and each day I meet new people and have new experiences....that makes me happy.

That beanie was worth jumping the queue for, it's so cute as is the model wearing it :)
ReplyDeleteInspired by you I cast on a beanie for one of my sons this morning, it's slower going than a crochet one but I have fallen head over heels for my needles again. I'm off to NZ in August so have a rather long list of yarny things I want to finish before then.
Xx
Wat a sweetheart! Love the ears. x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Kate! How do you work out what head size it's going to fit though???
ReplyDeleteThat is the most colourful adorable beanie...the ears are such a fun touch. happy week ahead to you and yours. x
