Project - Cosy Hoods
I’ve been making hoods or snoods, which I’ve found really practical in cold weather and using up some leftover yarns. I did have to buy some new yarn to accompany the leftovers and hold them double. I finished the first hood, a blue one, which I’m really happy about. The fit turned out great. Now onto a beige coloured hood. My fingers are still not 100% so the jumper will be paused for a few more days. I’d rather wait until I’m 100% again. The hood knitting is much easier on the fingers so I’ve simple stockinette stitch and soft. It's also using 6mm needles, so it went quick.
The second hood I made in three days as well. I prefer the beige as it will probably go with my the jumpers I've made recently and my jacket. I blocked them to try to press down the seams at the top of the head just a bit.
I still have enough beige yarn left for probably 3 more of these hoods... Maybe better to make something else with it. The blue yarn is almost out, which is great. Not enough to make something else out of, but I should come up with a scrap yarn project, that will work with multi colours. I saw this blanket on Pinterest, which might be nice as a scrap project.

Hi there I'm Charlotte from London and I am a Millennial hobbiest. By that I mean I love making things, for both the process and the outcomes. On this blog I talk about all the things I'm working on and learning each week. On some projects I will go into a bit more detail on what I did and my experience through it.
Some facts about me:
- I am not a perfectionist, preferring to complete something than to attempt to make something flawless.
- I am in a constant cycle of building up inspiration, executing the ideas, then winding down to reflect and regenerate.
- I am interested in almost anything that can be made from scratch using nature / natural materials.
