If the Hat Fits ...

Then come to a Knitting and Crochet Guild stand at a show soon !!



For something a bit different all these Woolly Wormhead Hats are available for trying on to help raise funds for the Guild.

















Some are from her book Going Straight...



















And others are a bit more individual ;-)

















They will be at the Contemporary Craft Fair at Bovey Tracey in Devon on Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week.

I will be with them on Saturday & Sunday

And if you want a good giggle I'll try this one on for you !!

Come and find the KCG stand (there will be a large yellow daffodil )













Their main outing will be at Woolfest :-)

Hopefully the lovely Ruth will be there as well with her boys (if I write it here it might make it happen...)















I'm really sorry about how badly I put this one on it's head to take the photo - So how do you display 9 hats easily, well you get some flower pots and cover them with recycled blanket..
















And we have some very silly hats...



















And a typical Ruthie creation (this one looks very silly on me - if you have seen me wearing a hat that wont surprise you !!)
















And finally a beret made of Wormhead handspun...


And I have been doing lots of things in the last two weeks - the next post will be edited highlights (but you will have to wait until I have walked the streets of Hereford waiting for my car to be MOT's tomorrow...)

Happy interuptions

I was in the shower when the bell rang - I rushed downstairs and was dripping wrapped in a towel to greet the postman - I grabbed the package out of his hands, ripped it open to find.... Wormhead's book.

I thought it would be brill and she has not disappointed, Anne's photos are great and the models really do the hats justice (for those that were at the campsite at Woolfest I didn't, did I ?) But having said that I am going to try again, there must be one in there that I can wear without frightening young children !!

So tomorrow I'm going to be mainly knitting hats and frivolous monkey socks.... I would show you a picture of the yarn (which is from Chewy Spaghetti) but my camera (or the operator, more likely) seems to have taken blurred photos of all my sock stash ... I have collated all of it and found that I have enough to make one pair of socks a week for one year...
I did have a look at the lace stash last night and that doesn't seem too bad - having said that I dont know what I've got on cones (or I do but I'm just in denial...)

The wip challenge is nearly complete, I frightened myself with how much I managed to finish (ok I've got a couple of things to sew up but they will be done by midnight..) I was so keen to start/finish that I didn't take any before photos, so you will have to trust me on progress.... And now I'm going to read Woolly's book again and plan for tomorrow (and take lots of photos of yarn, again, sigh.... and maybe do some frogging, yippee... and sewing up, yuk... )

Have a good New Year, may it be filled with health, much happiness and lots of finished projects..
