Three, in this instance...
I've ticked one crafty project off my to-do list; I made THREE variations of this hat for my skiing holiday last week, and they went down pretty well!
Dave, a family friend (wearing maroon v1 sans bobble or i-cord ties), Nigel, my SO's dad (wearing red v2 sans bobble, but with ties), and your truly (wearing the full blue shebang).
I didn't manage to get any actiony action shots; the only photo of the three of us was taken at a 3300m viewpoint on the last day - we're all at varying levels of ski-dom, so weren't together all week. I did some get some shots of Bertha wearing v3...I think she likes it!
Apart from recovering from my holiday of eating, drinking, and...oh yep, skiing (!), I've mainly been working late to catch up on last week. I have a pretty specialist job in my office, so even the cover doesn't "cover" much, which is annoying yet comforting, as it's not as though I'll be replaced any time soon. It pays off, however, as I get sent on exciting day-trips; today I visited Spring Fair 2010 at the NEC in Birmingham (a huuuuuge retail exhibtion), to check out a) the competition, and b) all the pretty stuff that'll be hitting the shops this year! I managed to bag a couple of goodies at trade price, but some are presents, so no pics I'm afraid, lest certain people are reading!
I'm hoping to get underway with the other projects on my February list this weekend; I started Estella last night, which is going well, and I would get to my sewing machine, but someone has taken up residence on my crafting table...
What are your plans for the weekend? Anyone else got any rogue animals to shoo away from their crafting??
AWESOME! Glad to see the pattern working for the fellas too. You were really fast with those hats! Hope they're keeping all those noggins toasty warm.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the hats. I may have to try my hand at these, after I finish my Knitting Olympics challenge.
ReplyDeleteCat quality control? :) Looks like he is just making sure you do a good job.
ReplyDeleteMy fibre dyeing room is also my grooming room so the dogs tend to be pretty leery of entering unless they can see for sure that all the grooming equipment is packed up. They watch from the door way.
Whoa-twilight zone moment. I was going to surf off to ravelry to find a pattern for a hat with earflaps just as soon as I was done reading here!!
ReplyDeleteLove your ski hats - they look so cozy!
ReplyDeleteThe hats look great! Truly comfort knitting. I also really love the pictures of your animals. I don't have a pet now, but I *love* animals!
