Pom Pom Hats

I love old knitting patterns, for many reasons, comedy value being just one. This pattern for helmet (silly me I thought it was a balaclava!) and caps caught my eye, mainly because all the hats sport a lovely pom pom on top, I'm a sucker for a pom pom. The helmet is my particularly favourite, very attractive. 10p well spent? I think so. In the same shop I bought a water colour painting of shells, for 50p, I think it's quite well executed, just needs a frame.

Books

As a family it's rare for any of us to read a novel (maybe Alice). Nearly all our books are on art, photography, crafts, cooking (cook books without photographs what is that about?), manuals and maps. For a book to make it onto our book shelves it usually has to contain either illustrations, photographs or diagrams. I find It's the same with blogs if they are too wordy with no photographs they don't hold my attention. Over the Christmas break Alice had to write a dissertation for Uni. She had a book list so she looked on Amazon to buy some that were relevant to her chosen subject, Mods.
