Becca's Knitting Madness

I've been getting all christmassy and I've done a lovely snowflake design which i think needs turning into a hat!

Yay!

I also learnt twisted drop stitch!

I'm now going to make a matching hat for matt

Hopefully the hairband will be finished soon!

I probably rushed it but I love it so much anyway!

Hello!
My headband is progressing steadily and looking very complicated:

Yay, proud I am!

I have also started a new project, naughty me! It's one of those alpaca hats like this one:

However, my small budget does not stretch to buy alpaca wool so i'm using my good old 30% sheep in purple, navy and light blue! I'm also knitting it flat as I don't have any dpns in the right size.

Here is it so far:

Anyways, I'm off to continue teaching Matt, (my boyfriend) to knit with two colours at the same time - my latest obsession as well as advanced cable!

Hello readers,

I splashed out a little the other week and went to John Lewis and brought some lovely jubbly multicoloured wool. Despite being £9.90 for 100g it was worth buying.
Anyway I have made a wonderful rock climbing chalk bag. Basically I made a hexagon by casting on 12 sts, increasing 1st either side of every other row and then decreasing 1 st either side of every row until a hexagon is made. I then knitted a long rectangle with YO every few sts at the top to put i-cord through to act as a drawstring. I then added a chinese coin and am thinking about doing some silver embroidery on it!

I still had more than half the wool left and I found this hairband pattern:

HERE!

It claims to be 'fairly easy' but I'm finding it very hard having to do YOs, ssks, two kinds of cable and slipping stiches in one row!

It's a bit dodgy looking though hopefully shall improve as it grows!
