Finished Crochet Items - Beanies

These beanies have now found a new home among the boxes for Operation Christmas Child.

I have no idea where they will end up but I am sure that the children who receive them will love them along with all the other goodies in the boxes they get.

Now on to my next project .. a twiddlemuff or two.

Some more beanies for Operation Christmas Child.

I was playing around with some of the edges. I quite like the two in the photo above.

Finishing off some scraps. I hope someone likes this beanie when they open their box.

This baby beanies whip up so quickly.

I've made up at least a dozen of them now.

I'm thinking it is almost time to begin working on another project and not just the beanies.

Too bad it's summer here at the moment. I could just see myself wearing this beautiful beanie. Although I wouldn't have the messy 'pompom' look on the top. Not my style really.

The video tutorial is by Bethany Deardon (click on her name for her youtube channel) from Whistle & Ivy

This is definitely being added to my to do list, which is forever growing.

As of yesterday morning I had 18 baby beanies to take to the Relief Society activity today.

I have really enjoyed creating these little beanies. I've had a lot of fun using the knitting loom.

Although to be honest there has been a bout of gastroenteritis that has swept through our Ward over the past 5 weeks. So far so good, our little family hasn't been affected by it but I don't want to tempt fate. I am in two minds as to whether I attend today or if I even go to Church on Sunday.

Considering all of the medical conditions we have getting gastro is the last we need.

I just need to work out who I send these beanies to if I don't go.

The Relief Society in my ward are holding a service project next Saturday (Oct 1st). Some of the sisters will be helping to clean Old Gippstown, a small town within Moe where you can experience what Gippsland was like during the 1850's (now that it's spring there will be more tourists and activities coming up there) and other sisters will be making beanies for babies to donate to the local hospitals. You can guess which one I have decided to help with.

Here are some of the beanies I have made so far to take with me.

I chose red because who doesn't like bright colours? There is no need for pinks and blues for baby all of the time. 

Some of the patterns I have used are by Heather from Just Crochet. 

Heather has some lovely freebie patterns available on her website (outfits and beanies) as well as her paid ones of course.

I hope to have quite a few beanies made before next weekend. It doesn't take all that long to whip them up so I hope to have at least a dozen or so to take with me.
