Stash busted: Slouchy Hat

Modelled by offspring as I didn't like any of the photos she took of me wearing it :/

Much fun had this evening at SnB in the Old Quarter. We had newbie knitters!

Much kudos to this plucky trio who cast on & knit their microfibre socks off for two causes.

Cause the first – The Big Knit - A fundraising effort by Innocent Smoothies to help make winter warmer for older folks.

Cause the second – The Project 366 Things - Dan got on board with the miniature hat making as one of his 366 things & roped his mates in too.

Delighted they came along as much fun, banter & passing on of skillsets was had. 

Happy crafting folks!

 

Busting that stash!

 

This is from Erika Knight’s “More Stash Than Cash”  series.

Knitting August 2010 Issue 79

 

While I’m not a hat wearer usually, this one caught my fancy.

If it doesn’t suit me I’ll gift it onto someome as their Christmas present.

On the topic of stash busting, my miniature hat jag has used up some of my dinkier leftover balls of double knitting yarn nicely

So many........

 

....little......

 

....hats!!!!!

 

I’m never stuck for something to keep me occupied during the holidays as you can plainly see.  However, I’m utterly glad of the fact that I’ll be returning to college life soon, as I’m in danger of developing Repetitive Strain Injury!

 

Hats a plenty!

A grand stack o' hats !

Raspberry & Yoghurt Fool anyone?

 

Offspring's favourite mini hat: Raspberry Yoghurt

 

Offspring now desires a hat for her normal sized head based on the dinky one above.

*Adds to project queue*

In other crafty news, I am chugging along nicely with the cardigan & shall soon be back to where I frogged from.

Happy crafting folks!

 

Catching up!

Hat the 2nd!

Hat the 3rd & the zucchini monster!

It’s a novel way to encourage kids to eat their veggies!

Heh heh

 

Minarets Smoothly Rebuilt

Progress since 2nd frogging

Taking into account the fact that I’ve been out & about, as well as painting a hallway & part of a bathroom, I’m quite happy with this.

Now for the ‘smooth’ part of my blog post……it’s the time of year for the Innocent Smoothies Big Knit. The link will take you to a page explaining the whys & what nots. They have a cool Big Knit Kit & I heartily suggest that you have a look through some of their Hats of the Week.

Anyhow, back to this blog, Hazel, Sarah (Froodie) and I are now on a tiny hat knitting jag.

Behold!

My first little hat

Hat the First!

I have my work cut out to match the effort of my fellow SnB’ers!
