Gifts by me

This year I made some wearable gifts. I'm getting better with a crochet hook so I was able to complete these two fairly quickly and I'm very happy with how they turned out.

For my little sister who happens to be obsessed with purple I made a hat and scarf. The scarf was a pattern I put together by mashing a couple patterns I have used before. Her hat, on the other hand, was created as I went.


For my Mom I made a cowl out of some fantastic green yarn I found earlier this year(I used some of the left over for my sister's hat and Clover's bonnet from a previous post). She can use it to warm her neck or as a chunky headband. This pattern was a variation on this pattern I found: http://angryolive.livejournal.com/13767.html

This was my second filet crochet project. Made for Jon's Aunt this Christmas. I started working on it back in late November and just finished it last night. While it's a tedious project I did have about 4 other projects going at the same time. Oh, the holidays how I love thee! I'm very happy with how it turned out and I'm beginning to really love the more intricate lace-work that can be created with the crochet technique. I hope to work smaller and maybe even make tiny stitched jewelry. Thank goodness I work for an eye doctor, I'm gonna need new glasses SOON!
