Hardly the most exciting photo, but my knitting has improved so much lately and I'm really pleased with how neat this hat looks so far. (lemmy.ca)

I don’t know anyone irl who might be vaguely interested so I thought I’d post here! I’m making this hat for my MIL when I see her in a few weeks. It’s a free pattern and you can find it here.

Thank you, I really appreciate that! I’ve gone for a folded brim so it’s definitely going to be squishy and comfy. It’s Sirdar no. 1 chunky in smoke. It’s lovely and soft and I really like Sirdar, but the real reason I chose it was because it was 50% off as it’s discontinued. Just over £2 per 100g!

I have 5 more balls so I’m making my BIL some fingerless mitts/wrist warmers and my FIL a scarf. I’ll post some photos of them if they turn out decent.

Please do. The best material is discounted material! That is how you really enjoy a craft and keep it going.
