Polar Bear Hat


I originally started knitting this hat as an adult's Christmas present but got my sizes mixed up! I am selling this one in my Etsy shop (link below) for Children aged 12-18 months. It is knitted using baby soft DK wool and edged with crochet - incidentally this is my first crochet work and I'm rather pleased with the result!I hand made the pompoms using the same wool used for the rest of the hat and attached them to lengths of i-cord. I have now sorted the sizing and am knitting an adult sized version as originally planned. I then plan to knit a range of similar hats of different animals.

Commemorative Cushion Cover


My Fiancee's brother got married a couple of weeks ago and I made them this cushion as a wedding present. I cross stitched the names and date of the wedding onto good quality white cotton fabric. The back material (below) is actually a Liberty print that was printed on the wrong fabric. the cushion cover was sew together by hand as my machine was broken. It is open on one end and held closed with press studs.
