Look what I've made... my first proper crochet creation (apart from the 10 granny squares that I don't know what to do with!).

I was planning on making this beanie for Miss 4-soon-to-be-5 but alas, I only have one crochet hook and obviously it is a bit too small... to Miss 2's advantage!

I used a boys skull cap pattern (see here) and found these cute little crochet flowers to pretty it up here.

I think there will be more beanies to come... bring on winter!

Please note: I didn't bother to get my model to chage her outfit to match the hat, so excuse the clashing colours.

Here are some of the things I am loving at the moment...

Guys that like to crochet and knit

May I introduce to you, Andrew Burton. This guy is a crocheting and knitting machine with some pretty cool beanies and stuff on his website (see here).

I did have a bit of a laugh at his couch cover and cushion... but hey, nice to find a guy who isn't ashamed to be himself ;)

Reminded me of a post I did ages ago here.

There's something about peppermints in a tin... and I discovered some 'Wild Bean' ones last week.... mmmmmm.

Granny squares

Yes, I am still loving crocheting granny squares. I think I have enough to make a scarf. But don't worry, I won't be making myself a granny square dress like the one below... although then again it could look rather stylish with the right shoes...

I just love those blogs that make you smile... and that are random and interesting. Here are a few of my favs...

Betty's Blogazine... especially her Things I Love Thursday (they bring back so many memories)

B is for Burton... I am married to to guy who writes it (which would make me slightly biased), but I do crack up at his random thoughts and posts... they make my day.

Art by Anya... she is crafty and clever and very funny (and a great friend).

What things are you loving at the moment????
