Lost and found

Just lost a long post - ack, it was dull!  Here's what I've been up to, in pictures as much as in words. 

Is the hat supposed to have the pixiesque acorn top?  No.  I considered either sewing it in, or attaching pompoms to it.  Both options are still on the table. And both are unlikely, let's be honest.  I'm just happy I knit something-that-isn't-a-scarf.

Is this the same glove as before?  No, and yes there are two. Now, I'm not saying that they actually match (whoops, missed a couple of lines out of the pattern so one has eyelets and the other one doesn't!) but there may be some sort of embellishment on the way.  As someone pointed out yesterday at SNB, they are certainly unique now (even being distinct from each other) and I liked that perspective.

The pincushions are pressies and there are quite a few more WIPs at an advanced stage. Right now though I must reluctantly return to some work that pays some bills - or at least buys my ticket for the Knitting Show at Ally Pally.  So will get on with things, and hope to resume our regular schedule of programming soon x

I like the little acorn bit on the hat - it's cute! Nice pincushions too.

Those pincushions are great. Good use for pretty "orphan" buttons!

Ali, I look a bit demented in it - but I think that's why I like it!

Orphan buttons - most of my buttons come from eBay so they are mostly orphans! I looooove buttons... sometimes it's hard to part with them!
