More Crochet Madness!

I went on a baby project binge. First up, a couple of hats!

Many of my friends are new parents and I've been making a LOT of baby hats for their newborns. Now that the babies are bigger, it was time to start making a new selection of hats.

The next task is a baby blanket!

Holiday RAOK

Holiday colored scarf

For the last few years I've participated in a 'Random Act of Kindness' (RAOK) gift exchange with my gals at tPF (The Purse Blog - peep my links for more info). It's such fun that it's started creeping into my general holiday fun.

This year, a friend sent me a link to a scarf drive mentioned on the SFGate website. I decided I'd like to participate! I've been crocheting up a storm this season - making lots of presents for my friends and family. I stayed up very late and made a Christmas colored scarf to give to them. I dropped it off today. Hope it keeps someone feeling warm and toasty!

Ho-Ho-Ho!

More hats!

E hat details
Flower details. My latest attempt at hat decoration. I thought something besides the little rosettes I could make. These came out really nice!

Oooh-la-la!
ANOTHER hat for Michelle! This one was by request. She wanted a 'summer' hat with some slouch. This is a beret, I thought it might work for the still chilly spring. I may add some flowers to this one.

Crochet Hats for wee ones!

I've been on a craft frenzy since our return from Vermont! I sent of a hat to my Mum and one of my sisters. Then I busted out the hooks and started a slew more. Here's what I've made, so far (since those first were shipped out).

The Cozy Hat

photo

Over the Holidays, I started to crochet...well, I attempted to crochet! I made scarves for some of our relatives on the East Coast and little pot holders.

For our next visit back East, I thought I'd make us hats. The one above is mine. It's my first attempt at a 'puff' or 'popcorn' stitch. Not too shabby!
