It's that time of year for golden-syrup light pouring through the windows- it's mid-autumn. And therefore time for a little knitting on the needles. I made a hat but about halfway through it became clear there wasn't enough yarn to finish it. So I couldn't remain true to the pattern I was following- I won't link to it here because my finished hat has little in common with it. I've started another however and made sure I have plenty of yarn to do it properly.

'My version' is quite warm though and is shaped like a tam and seemed to ask for a pompom and embroidery. I was going for branches but they look more antler-ish. I used Jo Sharp merino in a deep yellow to make the hat.

A few pieces of embroidery were finished up- one has become a small purse for my shop.

Also over the weekend, I made myself a new website. It's just a general home for all my different bits and pieces- I'd been wanting to put it together for a while. Plus it's for book and work purposes. You can see it here.
