When I’m using different balls of wool on the same row, I prefer to weave the wool that I’m carrying across into each and every stitch at the back. It’s a bit more time consuming but I think it reduces the chances of puckering and gives a tidier finish on the inside.
This is the card I made to send with the hat. As I don’t have any strawberry paper or stamps, I used some strawberry fabric for the background. The sky was made by lightly applying broken china distress ink to white card and spritzing with water. I coloured the girl with markers and made her a little pair of knitting needles using pieces of cocktail sticks with beads attached to the tops. Then I rolled some darning yarn into a ball and knitted a couple of rows on the cocktail sticks.

Omg is so beautiful I love it.I do not sew I will try to convince my mother to make me one for my second daughter to be born in October is very cute lol
Thanks Jess, Donna and Patricia for the lovely comments - I really appreciate them. Jess I used either a Pritt Stick glue stick or double sided sticky tape to attach the fabric - sorry I can't remember which I used this time! I didn't do it in this case, but often I will add stitching for extra hold.
