This week's finished items!

This week I started and finished an adults hat made with Stylecraft Chunky Harlequin, and a baby's waistcoat from the same yarn. In total, I used 2 balls. Last week I started a hat in Ice Yarn, making a ribbed hat. This took me a while because it was US sc in back loops only, so I had to concentrate to just do one loop. If I was to do it again, I would do US dc so that it goes a bit faster!
I put the waistcoat on a teddy to model it, the yarn is hard to photograph!

And here are the hats:

The purple one matches the baby hat I made our little girl.

And I had enough yarn left over to make 2 headbands!

New hat!

I'm making my first crocheted adult hat! Decided on a ribbed hat, it is taking a while, crocheting US sc in back loops only is much slower then if it was both loops, or dc! I shall persevere as I am halfway there. When it's done I want to put a pompom on the top, partly to hide where it will be joined as the hat is a rectangle with a side seemed and gathered at the top.
I want to add a photo, but google have removed the app so I'm having to use the website on my phone and I can't upload any photos. Will have to fire up the ole laptop!
Here is the photo of the work in progress! Hopefully it will match or at least co-ordinate with the purple baby hat I've made with the same yarn (Ice Yarn).

Cat in a hat

This is Shoo, the glamorous, sulking cat who was picked from the audience at random to model a cat hat. Also, her sister kept knocking it off when it was on her.

I based the pattern off of a newborn hat, and kept trying it on each round. It's simple, so I'm sharing the pattern. 

Finished objects

As I haven't updated here in a while, I thought it would be a good idea to show off some of my finished objects. For the full range and more photos, see my facebook page.

Blankets
I have completed 2 large granny squares, and a summer wrap, all can be seen (just!) in the photo below, covering my legs.
