Fair Trade hat - not knitted by me thank goodness

My own knitting leaves something to be desired, so after several unsuccessful attempts at making a hat, I ended up buying a beautiful purple alpaca wool one from the Fair Trade organisation Mamacha .

The stall I bought it from was manned by the boyfriend of the founder. She sounds like quite a remarkable woman. Also, from the pic on the website she looks about 25 (so did he, so she probably is).

I can't tell you everything else I bought because they will be Xmas presents (and you never know who's reading this) but all will be revealed after Christmas.

Also had fun today making a short film about a scary experience I had with a GP. More of that later too.
