My Christmas gifts are almost done, although, I am leaving a blanket for last so that should take up a week or two of my time. Being as Christmas is in what, 5 or 6 weeks, I guess I should start.

This is a fun little scarf for a girl.

This hat was very easy, looks hard though. I do admit, it took me quite a while to get it just right though. I don't know if there was an error in the directions, or if it was on my part. The latter is more likely. I had an extra stitch that was throwing me off, so I just added a bpdc to the beginning of each round after the ch2, starting in round 6. Came out great, and I love this hat. I think I will be making us all one. I am not good at adjusting patterns to fit the size I need, so the children will get one too, just a tad shorter. I can't make it smaller in diameter. They don't care though, so long as they can see!

Another scarf

This was such an easy scarf. One of those patterns that looks difficult if you don't crochet, with the slant detail in it. I made it with Red Heart Super Saver, Grey Heather. I used about 7 oz or so.

This isn't the best picture, but you can see the slant stitch in it.

Scarves galore!

I am slightly addicted to making scarves for some reason. So, guess what everyone's getting this Christmas? Normally, people who first learn to crochet or knit do this as gifts, ha! Now I am on a mission to find all sorts of patterns, and of course reciepients of said scarves. I won't tell you who all these are for, incase any of you are looking at this ;-)

This is what I have so far:

This one is an adults keyhole scarf and matching hat. To fit an adult I did have to add a round even though the pattern says its for an adult. I found the pattern was perfect for a toddler/small child when followed. I made this with 2 strands of yarn. A little more then one skein of Homespun Montana Sky Blue, and 1 skein Caron Simply Soft, something in the blue family the label was missing. Its super soft and so warm!

This is the same pattern. I used 1 strand of Homespun Sierra and Caron Perfect Match Cream.

This one is a toddler size. I used the same pattern for the hat just a smaller hook and less rounds. This is the scarf pattern. Again, I used 2 strands of yarn. Red Heart Super Saver Pink Camo. I think It was about 1 5oz skein. I used 2 and had combined, probably, 1 left when done.

Lastly, this is my favorite. Its so pretty. Its folded in half for the picture so it's not this short. I couldn't tell you how much yarn was used, not a lot. Few ounces of each. There's 3 colors here, single stranded this time. The most used was the varigated one. Red Heart Pink Camo, like in the previous picture. Second was Red Heart Super Saver Light Raspberry and the last was a light pink. Again, label was missing.

Fake food

I've started Christmas presents. I have a few things going on, and when I get more motivated to actually finish them I'll share :)

I have done some great food though

Now off to find all the patterns I bookmarked months ago, and get going. Christmas is closer then I want to admit :)
