This is a peace sign that I did to check out how complicated the pattern was.  I have been requested to make a blanket.  I found the pattern here: Peace Granny Square  It didn't take long to complete, and after goofing on the first couple of rounds, it was really simple!

I whipped up an owl for my Granny.  He's so adorable!  I found the pattern here, Crocodile Stitch III: Crochet Owl but revised some of it.  I used crochet thread for the eyes and did the nose as more of a triangle then working in the round.  It took 2 nights to complete him.  My youngest wants me to make one for her, even though she knows how to crochet...

I knitted a hat for my great-nephew... My niece wanted day of the dead theme, so I searched and found a pattern here: Blanca Crochet Day Of The Dead Applique Skull Pattern by Spider Mambo.  I did a straight stockinette stitch for the hat and made it long enough to tie the top into a knot.  I did it flat at first, but frogged all of it and started again because I couldn't get the seam right... :-/
