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:
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!
