There was a hubsand
who loved starwars
and was forever giving
his wife facts
and snippets of information
about starwars and
about the new films
that are due out far into
the future.
Husband had seen the hats that
wife makes and
wanted one....
a starwars one.
Wife new she had to find the
chosen one...
and so it began
To be fair i had been saying i would make him one for about two years.I did start to crochet him a hat that we had seen on google images but i never go round to finishing it, i think because i didn't believe he would ever wear it and i like to see things i have made used.
So before Christmas i i was on ravelry and i saw a fair ilse design for starwars (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fairisle-patterns-from-the-movie-star-wars), it had been intended for a jumper but with not long till Christmas and with how slow i am at knitting i knew this wouldn't be achieved so set about a hat.
I have never done any fairilse knitting before apart from a couple of little squares when i was learning to knit, its not to hard when you get into it but i made a huge mistake by pulling the unused yarn far to tight resulting in a very bumpy and far to small hat. It was meant for Paul but just about fit Fred!
So i started again, this time with the knowledge of how to fix it, i swapped some of the patterns round so colors that were the same were nearer and i used separate yarn for each picture. It was looking batter and coming together, the second one only took a couple of days,

Comfy on the couch with Fred, Stripy blanket is still on the go and had another push over Christmas.
I set up all Freds New and old Take along Thomas track to keep him busy so i could get it done
Here it is the finished product!!!
We decided to take the bobble off as it looked better on Paul
Last weekend me and Molly and my neice Chloe and Ewan had an afternoon at Frozen Sing Along
It was held at the Oprea House which is a gorgeous old building that brings back many happy memories as a child of seeing shows there and being in shows there as well.
Molly loved it and they got some of the Kids dressed up to have a picture togther
Well its the end of the first week back and i am slowly getting back into the swing of things, new projects have been started and new adventures planned.
Byr for now
