feeling pink

And here it is, the latest baby girl blankie:
Closer:


This style of blanket is one of my favorites. It's a very simple (read = easy to do while watching play-offs without risking ruin when I have to throw it to the floor and chase my toddler away from the fireplace) pattern, but with very cute results. This one was a commissioned blanket for a friend of mine, I hope she likes it!

I also finished up a couple hats. I hope to post pictures soon, but they belong to my camera-shy Daddy-B and lil' b. Yep, matching hats for the men in my life. I am officially a Yuppie. As tacky as I would have called the idea when I was a joie de vivre singleton (was I ever a joie de vivre singleton? I doubt it), it's cute as heck on my two favorite guys. I know, because we've had a bunch of strangers comment on their coolness/hipness, and I know winter hat compliments are pretty uncommon in general. But aside from that, I think it's cute, and since I'm the one wielding the hook, I have the final say. :)

Well, back to the hook and needles. Socks or blanket? Socks or blanket? The eternal debate rages on.

a warm and wooly holiday

A Homespun hat with a pom for Mom:
Another hat for Mom, this one a night cap, formerly a sweater. Gotta love recycled yarn!

And finally, my glorious new stash of sock yarn. Deee-licious!

merry crochetmas, after all

I can not thank Pretty Crochety enough for loaning me her copy of The Happy Hooker so I could whip up a little extra gift for my dad. Meet the blue and green Boy Beanie:


His old night cap is really pretty cruddy, since it was my first knit project (too small, wrong yarn, seamed poorly, YELLOW...) but because he is my dad, he loved it and wore it all the time. Now, a hat befitting such a fine father.
