Bats ... Not Just For Halloween

I love bats though I was never a fan of them when I was younger. When I lived at my parents, if the odd bat made an appearance I would soon go into the house out of the way. I used to think they may get tangled my hair and at the time there would be no escape for a poor bat with the back combed, 80's perm I was sporting, finished off with a tin of hairspray.
We encounter quite a bit of bat activity here ( we have a few canal bridges near by so maybe they live under these ) and love spotting my first bat of the Summer.

Last week I made these rather glamorous looking bats using a pattern from the Gingermelon etsy shop.
