Hooray! Crochet hat

After our hill walk last week where I battled with my hair in my eyes, the low autumn sun making me squint and cold ears, I decided I needed a hat.

I dived into my cotton yarn zippy bag under the sofa and chose some cotton yarns because wool hats make my head itch. I made this hat from the book Retro and Vintage Crochet before I had to give the book back to my neighbour. 

In my usual style, I finished the hat with centimetres of yarn to spare on all of the four different colors.

To keep warm this weekend we also went to the cabin and embarked on phase three of our cabin plans. Phase one was the build. Phase 2 was our solar panel and lights and phase three - a log burner.

My dad bought it for us and Bloke worked really hard on Sunday making the chimney fit through the roof. I have a new/gifted piece of furniture in there too which I have plans for.

We were toasty warm in the cabin and celebrated with soft, brown marshmallows.

On Saturday night we went to a friends outdoor party. He is a yurt maker so we cosied up in the yurt and it inspired us to get on with putting in our log burner after seeing his.

We are loving this mild Autumn, long walks and being outside. 

Are you enjoying Spring or Autumn?
