Oops!

Too many blogs! Well, I have been quite busy. I knit a cowl for a friend for Christmas. I forgot to take a photo, but it's like my blue wispy one, only in slightly thicker wool and in a browny blend, as that's what suits Trudie.
I have also just finished a pair of booties for a friend in my secret FaceBook group, Brian's Bar. It's a great group. we all studied English Literature with the OU and got on so well that we kept together. Well, about 35 of us did. It's called Brian's Bar as someone made a typo once and said her brian had gone to sleep. So ever after that we are the Beeps from Brian's Bar.
The booties are for a premature baby. The mum is young and this baby is her fourth. I've met her at our weekend in a Bunk House, and she's really lovely. As were everyone I met.
And here are the booties. They're red as the family support Manchester United.

and another seventeen weeks.

Oops. Too many blogs. Not enough time.
I will have to see what I've been doing.
One thing I remember is Olivia's crochet hat. I learnt all about Pi to to the maths, and designed this cloche hat for her. I say designed - it's a circle, and I looked at other patterns to see how to make the brim. And the flower.
The history behind this item is - my WI are putting on an exhibition with the theme of picnic (it had to be a meal) and the colour of blue.  I volunteered for the craft project, as I knew I could give it to Olivia at a later stage. I did ask DIL for Olivia's head measurements, but she didn't get round to giving them to me (just moved in to new house) so I guessed, and it's a tad too big for her. Better than being too small.
