Take one 10cm polystyrene ball, 40 squares of fabric, 200 pins and a little bit of magic!

Each square of fabric is pinned to the ball using 5 pins

As the layers are added the pattern develops

Add a little ribbon and decorate however you wish

These can be made for any occasion and make a lovely personal keepsake. They are my absolute favourite thing to make 💕💕

I absolutely love knitting and hats are one of my favourite makes.

I make them with a detachable bobble so that they can be worn in more than one way. Some days are bobble days and some are not !

I knit them using five double ended needles as I think it makes for a smoother knit. This is the hat I am currently making. You may need to wear sunglasses to look at it.

Knitting is my happy place and is so relaxing. I encourage everyone to at least have a go.

HAPPY KNITTING……….

Whilst most people are looking forward to Wimbledon and eating buckets of strawberries and cream I have been watching Wednesday, (which is really good by the way), getting in the mood for making Halloween decorations.

I absolute love this time of year and used to love organising a Halloween birthday party every year for my daughter who’s birthdate is the 27th.

These are the most popular items I get asked for but I will give any request a go!

So, Happy Halloween everyone and if you can think of any other characters you would like me to make them just let me know.

Look out for more Halloween products on keepsakes by Di soon.

OMG!!! Today is a very special one for me as I have realised a dream I have held for years. I have always wanted somewhere that I could share my crafting with others and have an outlet where I could sell my creations and today I have launched my own website with the help of nicolade (www.nicolade.com) who have literally gone inside my head and produced the website that has been there waiting to come out!

I hope to share my crafty life with you through this blog and hope we can get to know each other a bit better through it.

Goodbye for now, I see a crochet banana that needs finishing 🤣
