I’m on my way to Manchester with MdB at the moment, attending the Creative Stitches and Hobbycrafts Show. I won the tickets from Let’s Knit on Tuesday, and am very excited!

I thought I would talk about some of the projects I intend to do in the coming weeks. This is largely because I intend to purchase the supplies at the show!

Penguin Hat

I have got this wonderful book called Animal Hats by Rachel Henderson, and rediscovered it the other day when I was cataloging my books. After I flick through, I decided I MUST make this penguin hat.

I’m out as a penguin lover, so it should come as no surprise as to why I want to make this! It requires an Aran yarn – it’s meant to be in Rowan Creative Worsted but if I find a good alternative I will rather go for it as I find the Rowan yarn a bit scratchy.

Man Scarf

I have no photos for you with this, but JS wants a new scarf, and I intend to provide. So, I will pick up some yarn today that is preferably MAN coloured and also super-super-bulky so it knits up quickly!

Arm-Warmers

I wanted to make myself something out of the remaining “Yarnfair Stripes” from the iPad case I made a few weeks ago. I chose this book, which I also rediscovered, and a gorgeous pattern which only requires half the amount of yarn that I have. I might make it twice I I really like it.

I want to pick up a set of bamboo DPNs and the show today will be the perfect chance to do so!

What are you up to today? Did anyone else go to the show? Blog-post to follow! I’m just on the bus there (writing this on my phone so please excuse any formatting problems). Promise to keep you updated!

Much love,

Corrie xx
