Little hats now.....

I was reading through all my favourite blogs and Jo from jozartdesigns had blogged about some really gorgeous little pixie hats she has made last year as advent calendars for her family.  

She knew I would be up for the challenge and would really love the idea so I have been playing with some oddments of wool and this is what I have come up with so far.


It's so much fun.  I am changing colours and am making up designs as I go along so it's a really fun challenge.....and I'm not short of oddments of wool as you can imagine  :-)  They all need sewing up and trimming with bells and bobbles but aren't they cute?  Of course it's too late for advent calendars for this year but there will be other years....I hope  :-)

Another fun idea to keep you out of mischief!! Not that you will feel like getting up to mischief with that miserable cold! Get well soon.

They are amazing! What a brilliant idea and I imagine something you can easily pick up nad put down in the evenings, these dark nights!
What a good feeling also, to be eating up your scraps of wool. Fab-u-lous!!!
