WOYWW 820 Stoke

Hi all, I’m scheduling this as I’m in Stoke visiting my aunt in hospital. I brought a bit of crochet with me: 
This is a paid pattern for a hat made of strips of leaves:


You make 5 or 6 of these and sew them into a circle. It may work, I’ll let you know. 
It’s a bit hard to predict what I’m doing as my aunt is a bit up and down. (Sorry, Sarah, I’ve not had chance to come over to Trentham; I’m staying at the Hilton in Shelton. Yay it has functional WiFi so far!).
It’s half term so no art class. Next week is the start of a 3 week project doing an ink and wash painting of a canal boat. I found this one, which will be fun when doing the tree reflections:
Bella’s at home looking after Brian but I’m sure she sends you all purrs. She did a good job supervising my crochet:

And finally:



Take care all and happy WOYWW. 
Hugs

I hope your aunt is as comfortable as possible and you’re ok too. That crochet pattern is really interesting, it’ll be good to see the finished hat and how it sits on your head. I still have that hat you made me, the different shape suits me whereas normal beanies just don’t! The canal boat will make an interesting study, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the challenge!

Oh dear, I do hope your aunt is improving as time goes on. It must be strange being away from Brian and `Bella for you.
Love the hat you are making, what gorgeous colours on the pattern and yours are in gorgeous blues which will be lovely too.
Love the Ebay Cats!
Hugs, Neet 12 xx

Glad you are able to visit your aunt and I hope your hotel is comfortable and not too far from the hospital. I look forward to seeing your hat completed, it looks a little complicated for me. The last funny made me laugh! Happy WOYWW. Angela #15

I, who can't knit, think that looks really complicated. But so pretty!
Have a great week!

I would laugh at the1930s Germany meme but sadly I fear it is becoming more true by the day. Still the canipulation one is ALSO true and much sweeter. LOVE the hat! Errands then knitting yesterday so late but still Happy WOYWW!

Your beanie will looks great, no good at crochet but have done some knitting years ago. Love the funnies. I'd swap the Germany 1930s to The Ilse of Wight 1950's (Yes, I know its not a country, but they think it is) Happy WOYWW!?((Lyn))#20
