“Nicola’s Pull on Hat – Variation”
I picked up this pattern, and lovely hand-spun wool, from the Handspinner Having Fun (on the Isle of Skye, Scotland) when on a geology break – I ended up not actively taking part in as my broken foot complained and swelled… what else could I do, but invest in some needles and wool and start knitting?!

Noro Hat Madness
This is my all time favourite knitted hat pattern, in wool that I love!

Patchwork Triangle Pouch
This was a fun project to make and looks beautiful when finished – it also serves as a fun way of recycling scraps of fabric…. I took great pleasure in using the leftovers from the Tooly-Tool Holder Easel I made earlier this week!
Tooly Tool Holder Easel
This tooly tool holder pattern was found on Craftsy.
After inheriting a volume of wool, needles and equipment which doubled my own crafting room in content, I was in dire need of a refurb of my crafting room… after sorting out the basics (moving it to a larger room to start with!) I started to search for something to hold my most-used small tools within easy reach of my sewing machine.
Project: Knitting Needle Roll
After inheriting my Nanna’s Knitting Needles (and soooo much more), I had to go through them and check what I had double, and which I was keeping. There were 100’s…. so after finalising what I was keeping, I needed an easier way to store – and find! – them. I did not use a pattern for this, but sewed it together adhoc.
Project: Knitted Jacket
