2Paw was holding a giveaway on her blog and I managed to snaffle this lemony coin purse, perfect for storing stitch markers in. Thank you so much Cindy.
I decided to block some beanies on balloons and see how it worked.
Firstly Porom, because although I had worn this hat a few times I had never actually blocked it.
And then Beanpole Beanie. (Ravelry link.)
Made using Cleckheaton Country 8 ply.
4 mm & 4.5 mm needles.
Both hats have come out considerably larger since their dunking. I am hoping they shrink a little while drying but it looks like I may have to reconsider what needle size I use for future hats.

You are the enabler aren't you. Looks like that I will have to knit my self the beanstalk beanie. Just have the right bottle green 8ply yarn too. Thank you for the Balloon Blocking lesson.
Oh I am so happy it arrived safely and has a purpose in purse life now!!!
Nice beanies and most amusing blocking technique!! I look terrible in most hats but I like to knit them for other people. The Beanpole one is very nice indeed!!!
