During my hiatus from blogging, I developed a little bit of a beanie-making obsession. Like doilies, I really don’t think you can ever have enough beanies.
This one was my first. Current count is 4. The 5th will be started this afternoon. I really can’t help myself. 😀
I used Adorn Silky Merino DK, from Wool Baa. I believe I’ve already gone on enough about how lovely this is to crochet with!
Love Terri and Moo xxx
LOVING your blog still btw. I wear my capelet made through inspiration from you by my gorgeous crafty friend Mish, and think of your often! Beanies?!?! Orders?!?! Hope all well down there. Kirsti x
Hey Kirsti! Long time no speak! 😀 Yes, it’s all about beanies at the moment – although I wish it was a bit colder… winter has just not arrived in Melbourne yet. Hope you and your family are well. x
Your beanie is beautiful! I love the colors!! Hugz Lisa and Bear
Thanks so much! The colours were actually purchased to start making a granny square blanket in the colours of sweet pea flowers. I got sick of making the granny squares, hence the beanie!
Is it you own design. It’s really nice.
Thankyou! Yes, it’s my own design. It just kind of “happened” as I went along, but it’s pretty straight forward – in fact, none of my stuff is really made from “fancy” stitches – I’m too lazy! 😀
I LoVe this!! The black really makes this something special. It’s the start of summer here in England so not really in beanie make mode – must remember this in a few months time!
Thanks so much Yvonne! Yes, it’s always strange to see people making things ready for summer, when we’re busy getting ready for winter!
Love the colour combo, the photos are stunning have you been on a photography course they look super professional ??
Thanks so much for your lovely comments! I’ve done various photography courses over the years, and have a decent DSLR with a very good lens (it’s all about the quality of the lens)! Luckily I bought it before we bought a house with a “real” mortgage, as I’d never be able to spend that much now!
Such a pretty beanie, love the colours and the black trim, look almost like stained glass.
Thanks so much! I do tend to add black to things – and also love stained glass… I wonder if the two are linked, I never thought of that before. x
Reblogged this on Crochet Wisdom.
It looks fab. All my beanies look like something the cat dragged in. It will be nice to see some of your other ones as well.
Thanks! Actually, this is probably the most interesting one so far. Whilst some of the others look nice on, they don’t look so much in a photo. I’m about to start a new one though, that I have high hopes for. I will report back! 😀
I ove it, great colors. A couple of winters back I had a real beanie obsession too, dont worry it will pass, and in the meantime just enjoy it!!!!
I completely agree that you can never have enough doilies or beanies!
