It has been a while since I last made an animal head. I need to feel motivated and that happened recently when I found some yarn that I thought would make a good hare. This is Hareton, the latest edition to our animal head collection.

Hareton joins Wishart (deer), Rambo (ram), and Reynard (fox).



I also made a jumper for Elizabeth. This is crochet but it looks a bit like knitting. The stitch is called centre crochet or waistcoat stitch. I really l like it and might have to make one for myself.

Such creative talents! I would never have thought that jumper was crocheted. Did it take long to make?
It’s really impressive how you make the ears. They are very nicely shaped. As is Elizabeth’s jumper – what a clever fit. I tend to err on the side of making my stitches too loose. Very skilful.
