Hats Galore...

Alright, so this is what I've been working on since the last post:


--the feathers and fans throw is DONE. it's a little skinnier than I would have liked it to be, but it works perfectly for a lap blanket on the couch.

--Dad's fingerless gloves turned out well....until he decided to wear them out to feed the goats and do outdoor work, and they came back semi felted. they are now much shorter than they first were, but oh well. what can you do?

--The Christmas gifts came out fairly well. The pig more so than the hedgehog, but my mom liked it anyway. I found some soft boucle-type yarn that I had started out making a gross fun fur/ boucle scarf with, so I ripped it out and used that for the wings instead. It worked, and the piggy is so cute!

--I got a new coat, and ended up making a Button Tab Hat in Scarlet Vanna's Choice.

--With the rest of this skein, I also made some Diamond Handwarmers, and

--A Lucky 7 hat for my sister.

--With some Red Heart Heart and Sole, in Congo, I made her some Mock Cable Socks too. Fun stuff!! :)


COMING UP NEXT:

--I'm starting a Hannah (ponytail hat) tonight. I got some Lion Brand Jiffy in a Dark Grey, because there is some grey in the new coat I just got.

--Sometime soon I should be getting the wool from my sister's friend, so I can make him some socks. He lost it the last time he came over here, but he found it in his house recently, so I'll be able to make them. :)

--And that's it for now...I have a bunch of yarn now, so I need to see what I want to make next once I'm done with these things. :)
