Trying to have a sleep in on Saturday morning and the kids are telling me to ‘get up lazy bums’. Its nice just lying in bed sometimes without an imperative to get up – but I must admit to having a million plans flying around in my head, and just as soon as I get up (and have a coffee) I am getting out my quilting project and finishing it up today – a small log cabin quilt – fun. I have also been crocheting hats like crazy (see pics below for my two darlings and their new hats) [here are some beginner crochet hat patterns too] – and am nearly finished a gorgeous hat for my hubby in grey alpaca – yum.
This week on whipup: book review – made from scratch – worthwhile nice easy read : this bush hat has go to be my project of the week – I just love it : vintage knitting - interview with Kristen all about knitting in the 1920′s, 30′s, 40′s and 50′s – a fantastic interview – make sure you take the time to read it if you are at all interested in knitting.
