I love this knitted wig! The designer, Megan, knitted it in fluorescent pink wool for Halloween. It's called the Hallowig. I think the pink wool gives it a very futuristic dimension and also a bit like the girl's hair in the children's TV show Lazy Town. If you knitted it in a more naturalistic hair colour it would be the perfect 'Hat' for those bad hair days. The pattern for this wig can be found at Knitty. Megan also has a website called The Organized Knitter

Just thought I would include one of Ashley's animations. This is for anyone whose birthday it is. Enjoy!

As well as the usual Saturday market in St Albans there was the added bonus of an Italian market. Here are photos of some of the produce they were purveying, a little taste of Italy.

After seeing my piece about crocheted flowers my friend sent me a photo of a bowl her sister, Elaine, had crocheted from plastic carrier bags. Very effective and perfect as a fruit bowl. I think we can spot Sainsbury's contribution to the project. I then felt compelled to crochet a flower from plastic bags, it had to be done.

I have been busy in my spare time, crocheting flowers. Last week I learnt how to crochet by following a tutorial on the internet and ever since I have been hooked! I have tried all kinds of yarns and colour combinations. I gave up on mohair, as it was too knotty. I can see potential in these blooms. You could use them to decorate plain knitwear or as buttons. Make jewellery from them, brooches, necklaces and adornment for the hair. Decorate a bag with them even  greeting cards. I made a necklace from a red flower, embellished it with black beads then added a leaf and attached it to a length of French knitting. The faded pink flower is crocheted in cotton yarn with iridescent bead embellishment, it has a more subtle feel and with a pin attached could be a brooch.
