Happy Crafts Day! (A new Family, Woolly Hats, Flower Brooches and more!)

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!

This is my first Owl family I made maybe 4 years ago!

After attaching the eyes and feet, I sewed the owl together and added stuffing
