I hope that all you lovely people have had a great week! it's time to choose my weekend project again and this time it's something I need and not something for charity. Back in September a lady from Loving Hands asked for help with a pattern, fortunately I was able to help her by making the item myself and going through it bit by bit with her and I loved how it turned out....
I loved the colours of the yarn and I really enjoyed knitting it too. Now this particular hat was sent to a charity but I want to make another one for myself. If I don't suit it then it will go to charity too and to be honest it may end up in the charity box because I don't usually suit hats but I'll give it a try.
It took 132 grams of Aran yarn and you can find the free pattern here
I will also be trying a new cake recipe which has just come to my attention, Daphne's Olive Oil Cake, I know what you're are thinking, olive oil in a cake! well Daphne says it's yummy and that's good enough for me because I have tried lots of her recipe's and have enjoyed everything I've made so far.
You can find the recipe here
