Hello my friends,
Hope you had a nice week? Thanks for your kind and lovely comments on my recent makes, glad you enjoyed them! Welcome to my latest followers, it's a pleasure to have you!
Yesterday I had an incredible creative and productive day! I will show you what I managed to make!
But first this: On Sunday afternoon I cast on stitches for knitting a
woollen hat in the round. It was finished on Monday, here it is!

I had already cast on stitches to make a second hat meanwhile...

Yesterday morning I made the following 7
Flower Brooches. First I made a knitted cord (Knitting Nancy), which I then sewed and shaped into little flowers. A matching button is sewn to the front and then for the back I cut out a grey pure Wool Felt circle to which I sewed a Brooch pin and attached this to the flower.
Here are the finished Brooches!

Then I knitted a rectangle shape which I then hand felted. This was a lot of fun!
