I’ll let you in a on a little secret. Making all these hats for The Big Knit, has given me so much inspiration.
Making things in miniature, means they are quick, and to be honest it doesn’t really matter when they all go wrong.
So I had the inspiration for another hat, and then kind of extended it to be a pineapple keyring!
Now, who doesn’t want a pineapple keyring?
