Wednesday!!! YES! It's mid week and winding down into another glorious weekend. I have SO MUCH to do and not enough hours in the day. Do you feel like that?
Today I have a quick share that my Facebook followers have already seen earlier in the week. I've had this Raff digi from Autumn Moon Designs printed ready to colour for a few weeks now, and when I flicked through a crochet magazine at the newsagent the other day and saw this cute Giraffe beanie I just KNEW what I had to do!!!
The pattern did call for 8 ply, but I think next time I would adjust the pattern to use 4 ply and a smaller hook and just do more rows. But I think he is super cute anyway and very snuggly!!! And well. What can I say about the digi, I just love it. I had intended to originally use the image on a layout featuring the giraffes at Taronga Zoo, and I might still do that, but I love it on a small gift card as well!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you for replying, and for visiting my blog, Lauren! We've been out all day and I'm really tired and may not be up to sorting my ARTHaven tomorrow, but hopefully the next day I'll actually be able to get at my work area and do something! I hate having mess everywhere!! Life does seem to have got in the way of my creativity lately... I shall look out for your answers and nominees on the Creative Blog Hop next week. Great fun!
