A year of makes - week 1

Sunday

I finished a hat  

and made myself some flapjack. I used the recipe from Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights but doubled it and added a handful of chopped nuts and some dried cranberries. It was totally delicious. Slightly sticky on the bottom, not too sweet and very effective at dealing with those mid-afternoon hunger pangs (or any other time of day hunger pangs, to be honest).

Monday

I made some black-eyed bean and roasted cherry tomato hummus, and finished a pair of thick socks.

Tuesday

I had a go at making some earrings - one set following this tutorial,

one set adapted from a bracelet pattern in this magazine, which I seem to have neglected to photograph, and a simple pair.

I also knitted some of this pink thing

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

I didn't do much in the creative line, but did knit some more of the pink thing.

Saturday

I finished sewing up this top

This was my August project, and has been lurking around ages just waiting for the sewing up to be finished. I shall now have to wait until next summer to wear it! I also finished and sewed up this top for a 1-year-old.

I cheated slightly and made it with short sleeves instead of the long ones in the pattern, as although it's a small project it was all garter stitch with no shaping apart from the neck, and I was a bit bored with it by the time I got onto the sleeves.

If anyone's keeping track of my knitting projects so far, that's completed: 4, cast on: 0.
