Post Christmas pre Prague visit – ebay & recycled knitting
So, that’s Christmas over with.
I spent a large amount of time knitting. In order to apply for a stall at Moseley Farmers Market, I would need to fit into the ‘crafts’ section. As a result I’ve been averaging at producing a hat a day to stock a stall. I have been taking apart jumpers from second hand shops – items that are made of pure wool, cashmere, mohair etc – and recycling the wool into far nicer and more wearable items of clothing. The stall could really do with some heads to model the hats. What have we got lying round the house that would do as a substitute?
Anyway, the beauty of knitting is that you can sit about over the Christmas holidays watching films and still feel like you’re doing something slightly productive. We went down to London yesterday to sort out some paperwork for the Czech business & I did some hat checking – fashionable people are wearing six faced cap type things – I could do with a pattern. Also, hats with beads knitted in seem popular so I’ll have a go at that too.
