Fanny's hat!

This knitting and crochet pattern booklet for Blythe came free with Dolly Dolly #27

Knitting patterns.

I spent one afternoon this week researching how to read a Japanese knitting pattern and it worked as I made this hat! My head was spinning though so I needed to make something while it was still fresh in my head!!!
I used thicker wool than suggested though - I had this lovely Colinette mohair I'd been dying to knit.


Hat!

So, this hat was supposed to be for Blythe but it looked too chunky for them. Though it is still oversized for Fanny I think it works for her. It's just her kind of thing.

WIP update.

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted here. I need to do some backdates too.

Anyway, here I am at the moment. A lot of WIPS to finish, knitting and sewing up. The orangey fairisle cardi in the left top corner is for Kumi.


WIP mess!

My usual routine went to pot end of last year and continued in January.
Well, I must get back, the hibernation, as lovely as it was, is over.
