my mum

My mum has come to spend christmas with me in the outback. Why she is here I am making good use of her knitting and crochet skills. Here she is making me one of many covered coathangers that I need. She is making them from feather wool and are very simple. You could use any type of wool. Using 4.5 mm needles cast on 80 stitches and continue to knit 18 rows. Cast off and fold in half long ways. Unscrew the metal hook from a wooden coat hanger. Stitch one short and the long side closed then insert the coat hanger and stitch up the last seam. If you feel along the wood you will find the hole to re-screw the metal hanger part back in.
