July Primary Coloured C/Kal for BDDU

The challenge was to knit or crochet a pattern from a NZ or AUS Designer in Primary colours,
So Red, Yellow, Blue or all 3 colours together it was.

I can tell you that I had a rather hard time choosing what I was going to make, These days I am really pushing for any spare time to craft, when I do get an hour or so I am so tired I don't really feel like doing much, so I was looking for a smallish project I could work up quick.


I decided to do the Suggestion square and make it into a cushion for Cooper, Well that was the plan, but I ran out of energy to sew a cushion and make the backing, That could be because my sewing room looks more like a dumping ground for wool and material these days (Simon is getting onto that next week, would you believe it?) or maybe the 60hr weeks and solo parenting of 3 children (2 pare pre-schoolers) while Simon has been away working! So I failed in the cushion idea, but I did at least finish the square, minus sewing in the ends.



Also because I am never one to work without phenomenal stress (in fact I work much better under it, go figure) I decided to make the Urban shells beanie for me, I have berets for work in Green and um.... Green (my fav colour) So I needed a red beanie and with these stupid -8 degree mornings we have been having, I have felt my head deserved a little bit of luxury :-)
