Crochet with wire

One of the reasons I wanted to learn to crochet was so that I could use the skill to work with other materials, mainly carrier bags and wire.

This copper and brass wire flower was my first attempt towards this. I worked with electrical wire a lot when I was studying and my final pieces were baskets from electrical wire and food cans.

I'm hoping to source some fine coated wire (Telephone/Computer wire) for my next project.

Crochet Floppy Hat Pattern

I found this fabulous free floppy hat pattern on Red heart and I have made five hats this month already! They have proved very popular so I can see me making some more, I might even get chance to make myself one.

I adapted slightly for the chunky wool ones and created my own patterns. I have to watch out for the UK/US terminology though gets me every time!

I have crocheted a couple of other bits as well this month but can't post as they are birthday presents and I don't want to spoil the surprise!

Between the crocheting I have been rebuilding the Trash Revamp website www.trashrevamp.co.uk
