at last... the perfect profile picture!!!



Just kidding!! I'm just sharing the pictures of the balaclava I just finished knitting. I had been talking to a friend about balaclavas, and I wondered how hard it could be to make an attractive balaclava that didn't make you look like you were about to rob a bank.
I am quite pleased with how it turned out, and it was so, so easy to make.
And if you start to scare people you can wear it as a bobble hat!!

  1. This is fantastic! I have no patience for yarn :( It takes me too long to make something, I think that's why i love paper and stamps. Totally admire those who can do it...Have a great day!

  3. That will certainly keep you warm, Joanne. I love it - love anything with cable. Would love to try one for next Winter! You're probably starting a new trend, btw...

  4. Cute! I was beginning to worry that you were giving up knitting altogether after your talk about how fabulous crochet socks were. :) Glad to see that you're still at it.

    I need to knit one of those for myself. I don't know how I survive winter without it!

  7. heehee brilliant!!! As I was waiting for your blog to load all I could see was the bobble for ages ....I was saying 'come on come on!!' as I new it would be a classic!

    *chuckle*....a perfect bobble hat/banaclava for someone robbing an organic store or National Trust shop perhaps.

    I have no idea where you get the time in your life to come up with all this knitting as well as papercrafting.Those needles must be on fire!

  9. Well I don't think I would dare wear a balaclave but I love it as a bobble hat :D
    Can't imagine how much patience it must take to knit something like that though so well done you.
