I am excited about March. I love the winter with woolly tights and boots, candles, sitting by the log burner, snug under a blanket knitting or crocheting... yet somehow by the first of march I am ready for spring. To open all the windows, put fresh pretty bed linen on the beds. But today there has been sleet and it is blowing a gale out there, so the weather isn't quite as advanced as my feelings. So I am sitting snug with blanket and candle.
And I don't feel too bad talking about woolly hats
I enjoyed making this hat for my Mum... It is the floral beret from Nicki Trench's Crochet Living made with the recommended and delicious Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino, in dusky mauve. The little added posy is almost springlike
Happily I did spend some of my weekend with my weekend-along blanket though looking at it now there doesn't seem much difference between Friday's photograph and the one taken today
There is no thought when selecting which colour ball of wool to use next, other than the same colour doesn't touch. I think I have quite a few weekends before I have to start thinking about what size I want this blanket to be and therefore placing the hexies more carefully. Thank you for the encouragement
Cherry heart!
Lovely colours in your hexie blanket! Makes me want to start another project xx have a lovely weekend! X
ReplyDeleteThank you! I do love my colourful hexie blanket... still unfinished but am very much enjoying the making of it
DeleteThe hat is really lovely - fab colours and the posy is just perfect. I agree, I love autumn and winter but by march I'm ready for spring to be here. The blanket is looking great too! Bethx
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is now May and I am still waiting for Spring to consistently arrive
