COMPLETED - BOBBLE HAT

     I finished my bobble hat from Farmhouse Knits by Erica Knight. The book was written for the amy butler sweet harmony wool but when I was in london we went to liberty and I picked up the softest alpaca wool it was rowan alpaca chunky in wren. It is a similar thickness to the sweet harmony wool and I liked this hat pattern so I decided to make it. 

     I knitted in the round but used 5 needles instead of 4 because it made the pattern easier to do. The cabling wasn't bad either. Cabling in the round wasn't too difficult you just have to follow the pattern carefully. It didn't take long to knit either. The pattern specifies 2 balls of wool but I only used around a ball and a half. I think that is because I decided not to make the pom pom for the end of the hat.

OCTOBER

   
I am so happy that its Autumn. I love autumn and winter they are my favourite season's. Everyone moans about the cold but that means blankets, jumpers and snuggling in bed when its really cold at night time. I think I prefer the colder season because I'm quite a hot person so in summer i end up getting too hot and sweaty and i don't like it. Autumn and Winter also mean more time at home and inside which means more time to craft! I have been knitting alot more recently and i think im going to start blogging about craft a lot more than i have been and i will be putting up some DIYs soon. Also i have been going into christmas idea OVERLOAD this year! So look forward to some december DIYs.
     I also love october because I have settled back into school after a very hectic september so i can begin blogging consistently again and I have a half term , 2 WEEKS OFF, coming up as well!
