I’ve failed as a blogger this week.
Only after I had three packages of knitted goods complete with care instructions all wrapped up in tissue paper did I think about photographing them.
The mittens I already had photos of because I’d blogged about them before, but I’ve just sent two hitchhikers into the wilderness without any proof they were here.
Well that’s not entirely true, but it does leave me at a bit of a blogging loose end.
I do think the hitchhikers were a success. The colours I chose matched what they were wearing when I saw them (always a good sign).
The hand knitting process gives you plenty of time to um and ah over colour choices so I was a little frazzled by the time I had finished.
So in absence of good pictures, I have the ones for my care instructions.
I use the Phonto iPhone/iPad app which makes putting text over photos very easy.
I use that app to make personalized cards too. My mum is always requesting photos of me and my partner so I find a decent photo, add our names to it and put a fridge magnet on the back.
Next time I think I’ll crochet a border for something different.
polka-dots & sparkles 
Sorry but i am truly thick- what is a hitchhiker?
Not a silly question – I’ve just assumed that everyone knows what I’m talking about. Hitchhiker is a very popular shawl pattern
I’m on my third in two months.

Now I see. Thank you. I can see why it is popular – great looking and practical too. 🙂
I had to look it up on ravelry, too.lol
Phew – )wish I had thought of that before I openly admitted it!!)
There’s no problem with asking a question. It’s a good way to get answers and it’s a way I can improve. I have a habit of assuming people know what I’m talking about which I should break- at work and in my blog.
I think that is something that everyone does!
Learned it from these blog posts. lol Or wouldn’t have thought of it either.
Now I know too, Thanks 🙂
Thanks for the clarification, this a great pattern (now that I know what it is)!
The pattern is a must get.
Oh I hate it when I do that, I have given people crochet things finished without taking photographs…it is quite annoying as I do love showing things off!!
