Maker's Road Trip

He called for the road trip. He needed more yarn. Two hours in the car later, he was pawing through the skeins at the Bendigo Woollen Mills factory outlet. No long just a guy who sits on the bench outside...  He's now the guy who makes things.

Research

Something new

"I didn't know I could use three different yarns at once. I'm very excited about that."

Nearly done

"I knew this ball would look good."

The second beanie

"Before I do anything else, I want to be a master of crochet. I also want an aluminum hook."

The finished hat

"It's very satisfying to make your own things. I'm going to make a lot of beanies."

Putting in the finishing rows

Already planning his second beanie, Craig adds the finishing rows to his first one. 'Craft is relaxing', he says.

Making his first beanie.

Craig makes his first crochet beanie while on holidays. He's a fan of a 7mm hook.
