Miniature knits are always fun. The joy of finishing a whole project in less than a couple of hours, cannot be underestimated. Especially when garments usually take weeks. No, a small knitted something, falling off the needles, is undoubtedly rewarding.
Also not to be underestimated, is the fun of seeing the children find my latest, new, miniature woolly creation. {squeal}
So the Innocents Drink’s Big Knit project was just too much of a big excuse to knit small.It promised to use up some of my odd ends. A chance to be creative. And even better, help raise some money for a good cause, Age UK.
I set myself the challenge of knitting a few hats in November. In my mind, I’d hoped I would knit 30 – one for every day of the month, but in the end I knitted 13 mini hats. Still good. I’ll package these hats up and send them off in the next few days. Giving them enough time to reach Age UK before the deadline.
My favourite? I don’t have one. They were each my favourite, whilst I was knitting them.
I’ve noted down how to knit the dog hat. Partly as I know I’ll forget before next year. Partly as I’m quite pleased that I worked out how to do the ears, without resorting to sewing them on. At some point I’ll post it up here. Mainly as I know I’ll have mislaid my piece of paper with it all noted down on, before next year. Only to discover it a month later. It is … inevitable.
Glad its not just me that writes things down and looses the piece of paper…….
No, not alone. Mine usually turn up several months later, if not years.
These are really Brilliant!
and I confess I especially love the dog 😀
He was my last one. Already added some notes for next time. It never stops!
well good grief those are adorable!!
that pupper is too cute for words!
Ha! Thanks. I could get quite carried away.
The dog is my favourite too. Will have to keep an eye out for the Innocent Smoothies!
I always seem to miss them. Only once saw a handful left on a shelf. Hopefully this means that they are very popular. Go little puppy. Go!
