Black and White Hats and Scarves





 This is one of the most most modern looking,fashionable urban style hats.It would go with any colour hair or outfit...


 This is a super warm black and white wool hat ,the brim can be worn turned up or down.Most of the hats blogged so far have been more womens style hats but this is more a mans style hat.A fisherman's or Mariners hat



 Who ever said you need the sun to have fun! This lovely bee themed hat and scarf set is crocheted in a very soft touch lightweight type of wool



 This striped snake scarf is very long and is made up of two layers of knitting.An extra warm huggable humbug of a serpent!

Peaches Pinks and Red Hats and Scarves


This is made from two different types of wool that match in colour.Both lovely warm peach shades but one is  very soft cotton wool like texture an the other an ordinary acrylic blend wool.There are six  perfect little peach flowers in total.





PEACH BEENIE STYLE HAT

Another lovely warm shade of peach.This is a simple acrylic blend wool but tightly crocheted it is very warm.The brim can be worn turned up or down on most of the bernie style hats...


This lovely shabby chic style hat always puts me in mind of marmalade[definitely one with the orange peel still in] It is such a juicily fruity mix of orange colour wool and a little bit Christmassy really,just needs tinsel

^This is the hat photographed from above^


Very sweet simple shade of pink wool hat,again thickly crocheted for warmth



A lovely pale pink collection of wools in a shabby chic style hat.Great for keeping your hair in place on windy days as well as keeping the chill out.The brim is crocheted in a warm bubblegum pink colour wool,with a lacy edge.

This is a great city hat,a beautiful way to stand out in the urban landscape like a modern Red Riding hood! Crocheted thickly in a rich lush red wool which is a bit festive looking too for when you  are feeling Christmassy




I love these colours,they work so well together.The bubblegum pink and the hot red.It took quite a bit  of insistent requesting [nagging] to get my mother Molly who does all the crocheting and knitting to finally put them together as she does not like red at all and generally opposes it.

Novelty Tea Cosie`s and A Rainbow Snake Scarf

 
The plump little wool berries all over the top of this gorgeous white gateau cosie are filled with a washable polyester stuffing.
 These beautiful cake tea cosie`s have padding in the top,this helps them keep the cake shape and keeps the heat in the tea pot...
 
The amazing fudge coloured ribbon on the tasty looking cosie has been washed several times and has not yet lost it`s shape!

 

This beautiful vibrantly colourful rainbow stripes tea cosie keeps putting me in mind of the American flag ...leaves me wondering if there is much call for national flag themed tea cosies...

 

The hand knitted poppies on this black and red cosie are really beautifully made,some are smaller and sweeter than remembrance day paper poppies,others larger with several layers.The very small ones have two shades of red wool used in there creation.These mixed red poppies really give the cosie  an elegant and well made look.

 

 

The beehive tea cosie is 'upcyled' -knitted from the remains of several balls of beige wool which do not exactly match ,you can see this if you look close enough,this give a delightful shabby chic feel to the overall creation


 

This pretty snake has slightly shiny green wool used to create his snake eyes.He has two layers of colourful knitted wool stripes for extra warmth.

I thought  photographing this unique creation would be trickier than it was,due to the length of this wriggly chap,but as you can see from this last picture it just looks like what it is from pretty much any angle!
