Well there hasn't been an awful lot of time for any garden grafting or crazy crafting since we have a new addition to our family ... well I say new, our little girl has been with us for four months now but I reckon that counts as new still! The great thing about little people is that you can make them little things and it really doesn't take very long - which for me is great when it comes to knitting.
I came across a really cute pattern for a hat on Ravelry which I could use some gorgeous yarn I've had lying around for ages (Noro yarn in a dusty pink colour). Has a high silk content and feels lovely and soft - just right for a baby, however I did find that it kept pulling apart in places, maybe my tension is too tight? This meant I had a fair few tidy up points at the end to get rid of all those loose ends. One day I'll hopefully manage to knit something that's as neat and pretty as the pictures but in the meantime I'm really happy with how it turned out (although I reckon I could have put pretty much anything on her head and she'd make it look cute!)
