Crafts - June 2021
The exciting news is that the hat I knitted for the daughter last month went up Mount Snowden two days ago! I've started the identical hat, but smaller, for her niece:
I've also started working on a new throw - it's a knitalong with a new square pattern issued every week. There are, I think, eight squares in total, which are repeated in number depending on the size of the throw/cushion being made. The patterns are at week six - I've just started week four:
And here's the knitted elephant - the body partly sewn up.
Because the daughter is now 30 (her birthday is today) I stitched her a bookmark:
And the bandstand at Tenby is making good progress. I'm about two-thirds of the way through now. I'll definitely be doing another in the series.
Other crafts are temari balls and zentangles, and I made an origami crane:

I think it's wonderful that your daughter wore her knitted hat when she went up Mount Snowden. The bookmark that you made for her is beautiful. Happy Birthday to her, btw! I have a good friend who is also celebrating her birthday today.
I love the knitted squares that you've knitted so far for that throw. It should look great when it's done! The cross stitch of the bandstand at Tenby is also coming along nicely!

Obviously it's a good day to have a birthday.
And thank you - I'm very pleased with the way the bandstand is looking.
