Since it is the season to give other people things instead of buying them for yourself, and I have some gorgeous wool that I need to use (cream with gold speckles), I am going to attempt to make one between now and the 27th December. I am fairly confident that this should be doable, since I am going to be sitting down watching Christmas films for a large percentage of that time. Plus, my mother will be here so she can make it for me.
This is the pattern to make a giantly bobbled hat like the one above (which is lovely but £50). It can't be that hard, can it?
I am almost wearing said bobble hat at my desk - it's so frickin' cold. It was from Gap btw - £14
ReplyDeleteI know. I snuck a look at the label. I refuse to buy myself a hat at Christmas, though! I will knit one. I liked your coat too, not seen it before!
ReplyDeleteha ha - that's my football freezing my tits off coat. Had it about 10 years, still going strong.
ReplyDeleteWhat with the Tigers scarf, it was a very good look.
ReplyDeleteAm I going to have to make a bobble hat too so I don't feel left out? (If Mozarteum fancies making a practice hat ... )
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a very good way of keeping me out of the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteGREAT IDEA.
ReplyDeleteMother - Liz has an unusually large head.
Anyone else need a hat? It's best if she's kept busy...
I'll have another! I quite fancy a big green bobble...
ReplyDeleteoooh good luck with that! Can't wait to see the results! I have a bobble hat (shop-bought though) and I love it! Thanks for visiting and for your sweet comment!
ReplyDeletecute, cute, cute! LOVE the giant pompom!
ReplyDeleteLarge head?!!
ReplyDeleteOi.
