I've Made Friday Week 95

I hope you've all had a good week & are looking forward to the weekend!

This week has been a bit strange.

Everything I try and get sorted just seems not to pan out.

I'm not worried I am sure if I try again next week it will get sorted.

Little Red is doing super well at his swimming lessons.

His has passed his level 1 swimming

as well as his 5 meters.

I am super proud of him.

You might be able to help me.

He is getting lots of badges from his swimming

and other things.

I don't want to put them on his clothes as he will soon

be in the next size.

What would you sew his badges onto?

Kabibe Crocheted Hat Crochet Pattern

from Croche Trend

This is what the pattern should look like:

And this is what mine turned out like:

Doesn't it look fantastic!  I can't wait for the weather to warm up slightly.

I made it using 4ply yarn and I love it!

I also made:

Hooded Cowl with Buttons

from Well-Ravelled

My cowl is slightly different as I used super chunky yarn

and I didn't have as much as needed so I just made mine slightly shorter.

This is what it should look like if you follow the pattern:

As mine is slightly thicker is stays closer to your head so keeps you very toasty and warm.

The rain and wind has been awful this week so I have worn it everyday.

I also made one for Little Red

as he wanted to keep warm as well.

The only problem is I forgot to take pictures when I finished it and he is now wearing to school.

I'll try and get some for next week.

Still no book to review this week.

I'll hopefully have one finished for you next week.
