Hat!

I made a hat! It's somewhat pixie-esque, but hey - the child's got to know what kind of family it's been born into!

Olivia gave me the yarn a few years ago & it's been sitting in my yarn stash since then. It rather luckily matches a lot of the Bertie Bear stuff from Boots that we have which is good!

Rinny worked very hard too while I was knitting away -

Oh to be a dog.

I started to crochet a hat, but I kept mucking it up with sizes and number of stitches to increase by and it also had a weird lump running along the join at the back. So I unpicked it all. The beauty of crochet it that it's so much quicker than knitting! I dare say I shall have another crack next week. I'm thinking about putting ears on it :-D

I'm starting to think that maybe I should've stayed at work for the extra 2 weeks as I'm now getting increasingly bored. It's nice to be at home and all, but I think I'm going a little crazy! I'm told I should be grateful for not having anything to do, but I'm one of those people who can't just sit around (unless I'm ill); I'd rather be too busy than not busy at all, that's just who I am.

Anyhoo, I'm leaving the house today! WOOH!
