Dine Hear by Knauf – 40 seconds at Shingle Inn

When DineHear.com.au asked us to review the noise level in 3 random restaurants we decided we wouldn’t take the kids to all the reviews. But we did take them to the last one at Shingle Inn Mt Ommaney.

Brisbane’s Lychee Lounge

SanChurro

The first problem was getting the kids to be quiet for 40 seconds so I could record the surroundings. It took 3 attempts for no one at the table to talk.

As if on que the ladies dropped a pile of plates to add to the 40 second sound effects. Initially I thought this would be a quiet cafe, but actually once we finished the recording we move to a quieter table outside. Our first table was near the counter so we were in the thick of it and my children do not handle noise very well.

Here is our 40 seconds of noise. You can hear the kitchen and the counter.

Well what do you think? Too noisy?

Not too long ago I was seeing a crochet pattern for a glasses holder shaped like a bear all over the Internet. It was super cute, and also useful as a place to put your glasses on your bedside table instead of just throwing them somewhere random.

This project stewed in my brain for a little while and I decided I needed to make a knit version, but I didn’t want to make a bear. If you know anything about me you might know that I’m a cat person, so of course my version had to be a cat.

The base is just a basic little basic worked from the center out to the desired size, then up the sides as long as you want them. Knit some ears and add embellishments to make it whatever kind of animal you want.

The way I figured out to work the base from the center out was to use a crochet cast on, which gives you an easier way to pick up stitches from the back of the cast on than if you worked a more traditional cast on for a knitting project. It’s kind of fun to do things in a different way from time to time.

This little project is adorable if I do say so myself, and even as a plain little basket not made into an animal it’s a cute way to keep your glasses or other little things in one place. I’m tempted to make one for my desk to hold pens or even little little scissors and sewing needles that are always on my desk but somehow always seem to get lost on my desk.

If you need a little holder for your glasses on your table, check out the pattern at Our Daily Craft.
