a quick & rewarding knit

things have not really been a great bundle of laughs round here lately! sick bugs have been replaced with cough & cold bugs, & it's been a grey & rainy day, so of course, instead of finishing the knitting projects i have on the go (Colette, i promise 3rd times a charm & your hat is well over half way done) i started (& finished) another one!


little O & i have spent most of the day under a quilt on the sofa (in-front of cbeebies, but best keep that bit quiet - although i think the state of the kitchen might be a give-away)* & i knitted a hat, a very quick & happy hat


so quick in fact she even got to wear it on the afternoon school run! i used 'click' chunky with wool & knit it on 6.5mm needles, the pattern details can be found over on ravelry, it's a great mindless pattern & i love it knitted up in this yarn, i had to add a little of some other random left over yarn to make the pompom,



*if you're reading this dear husband, don't worry as there is a sausage bake cooking in the oven as i type*

  1. so sweet! P won't wear the one I made her grrrr.

    I was thinking some more about your crohet camp, by the way. I know you were joking but I am starting to think that a little bloggy camping trip might actually be pretty cool! xx

  2. It's beautiful and I love the yarn you used - nice and chunky.

    I hope all are on the mend and a bit of tv and cuddle therapy is a must had when you have a little one ill.

    take care,

    Isn't Cbeebies a life saver at times!
    Love the hat, wish I could knit and crochet, which brings me on to seeing the comments about a crochet camp, now that could be cool!
    Enjoy your sausage casserole!

  10. What a fab hat! I might have to knit one for my own toddler, I've been looking for a good pattern. Oh, my, there are some lovely things on your Ravelry projects page too!
