Here it is, some proof of my recently acquired knitting skills :) I took a break from the scarf I've been making, and made a little blue bow brooch (try saying that fast).

If you'd like to know how I made it, here's how:
♥ Knit a small rectangle, in whatever size you prefer.
♥ Use some extra yarn to wrap around the middle to make the bow shape. Tie it up to keep it secure.
♥ Attach a brooch pin base at the back, and a button at the front. Sewing them on is probably the best way to do it, but I just used some super glue.
♥ Done! Easy, right?

Are you blogging about something you've made this week? Then add your post to the Linky at the end of Tuesday's post so I can see :)
