The Big Knit

Today I will send off my collection of hats for the Big Knit Project - You still have a bit of time if you want to join in. Some people went all out with some amazing lil' creations.
I really enjoyed doing these - they were nice and small so I could knit them in car journeys when I was a passenger listening to my friend chat away or when watching trashy shows that require little of my concentration. They turned out really cute and they gave me a chance to try out lots of different types of yarn. I used lots of different little scraps I was given and some I found from my mums old stash. I got a bit carried away in the end but it was for charity and once you get all gooey over the first one or two you kind of get hooked. It's hard for them to look bad I maybe should not have gone with the the chunky mixed brown ones I did but I did so many in the end that they are balanced out :-)

My Favourite must be the hat below - Just because that yarn was AMAZING to knit with and I just had enough to knit one hat - with no pom pom (hence why the pom pop pom on it is white) It was kind of like cotton threads rather than twisty yarn - I am sure some professional could tell me it's proper name and make up but I will be definitely trying to get more of it - It felt lovely in my hands and knits up a treat!
