Knitted Hairbands

The sun came out enough this morning for me to get pictures of my newest creation - knitted hairbands. While I don't think they look great on me (mainly due to my lack of a fringe) I think they would look really good on other people!

I've made three so far:





And here they are on (a model head):





I was also playing around with some ribbon and my flower loom recently and I made this:

Essentially the same as my wool flowers, only chunkier. At the moment I'm still in two minds as to whether I prefer them made of ribbon, or made of wool. I think I'll need to get some more ribbon and have a play around. I still need to attach a brooch back to this one, and I think the way I'll have to do it is to sew some felt to the back - the ribbon is too bunched up for a brooch back to sit on it very well.

Off to list them all for sale at various places now!

Icy Wool

I ordered some wool a while ago, which arrived yesterday. And so I promptly set about making some pretty things from it.

I first made a button flower - although the wool is so thick I don't think it really works:




And then secondly, a finger knitted pom-pom scarf, which I really love.

First Post!

So, I've started a new craft blog. The last one failed miserably, but I thought I'd try again, since I've started really crafting again.

So, here are my most recent creations:

First up - button flowers:



These are wool, made on a flower loom - with a button sewn in the middle! Simple, but pretty, I think. They have brooch backs sewn onto them too, so they can be worn on clothes or handbags or whatever!



This is a super skinny, super long scarf, with pom-poms at the end. Just because I thought it would look cute!



This cute little guy is what happens when I'm bored and find some felt. It's an apple (clearly!). Another brooch!

And finally:




A finger knitted scarf with some button flowers woven in. Very pretty I think (although I may be biased!).

And as this is my first post - and I'm all excited - I'm going to have a little giveaway! Anyone who posts a comment will go into a draw to win a button flower brooch - this one to be exact:



Leave an email address with your comment and I'll pull one name out of a hat on Sunday March 15th. I'll then email the winner for their address!
