A beautiful seal for Silent Sunday...

Orkney holiday knits...

So I said I would share my gift knitting that I did in Orkney...
Two sets of Saartje's booties and two simple baby hats. One set in newborn, and one set in baby size, using Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino. Soft & very cute!
Now with autumn here, time to knit another hat for me!

Holiday Hat!

Good news! My hat was finished in time for my holidays! Bad news (well bad might be pushing it) is that it is a little big. I mean it fits, but you wouldn't want to wear it on a windy day. Good news though, as it is wool, I am hoping a hot wash will make it a bit more snug. Though there is always the risk that I might shrink it too much, and it will end up as a hat for the guinea pigs. They, of course, do not wear hats (it would mess up their hair). Also do you realise how difficult it is to take a picture of a hat whilst wearing it. After much trying, and many pictures of me frowning, I decided that the blurry picture was the best.
Holiday to Orkney was lovely, I'll let these pictures speak for themselves.
I did manage to do some holiday knitting (after all what is a holiday without knitting?). And will share this with you soon. Ps, Wacky Wendy Woo sent me a link to the most amazing thing - a knitted garden! You can read more about the project here.
