You have to kiss a lot of frogs...

...before you find your Prince!  My first attempt at an amigurumi animal using double knit yarn and 5mm hook.  I overstuffed his body a bit and there are a few mistakes which I tried to fix unsuccessfully but as first attempts go I'm very pleased!

Sunshine in a hat

Months ago I bought 50g of some gorgeous mohair for no reason other than it was beautiful. I had no pattern and no idea what to make with it but I loved it.

After a horrible day at work I came home and decided to try to make a hat/beret to cheer myself up. I didn't have a clue so the result is a one-of-a-kind, never to be repeated design as I made it up as I went along!

And it's fab - sunshine in a hat - perfect for a grey rainy day!
