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... :-/

This is the hat that I made for Danielle for Christmas 2011.  Its a Jingle bell hat.  The pattern was provided by Red Heart: http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/jingle-bells-family-hats

Drew's Hat

This is the cabled hat that I knitted for Drew for Christmas 2011.  This hat went together very quickly!  Thank you Head Huggers for the pattern found here:  http://www.headhuggers.org/patterns/kpatt11.htm

Dad's Blanket

This is the blanket that I did for my Dad, July 2010.  This was a quick double crochet using a double strand.  It's heavy and will keep my dad nice and cozy in the winter time.

Granny's blanket

This is the blanket that I did for my Granny, July 2010.  She has always liked bold, vibrant colors.  I believe this was a simple shell stitch.

Damon's Blanket

This is the blanket I crocheted for my brother.  This took years to complete because it had 8 skeins of yarn attached at one time and by the time I untangled them, I would do a couple of rows and be done.  I did the end in different colors so that he knows which end cover his feet and which end goes up towards the face.  My brother is 6'4", so I made this blanket long enough that he can cover himself without his feet sticking out of the end of it.  This was completed 12/2010.

Andrew's Blanket

Andrew's blanket (5 rows left)

My goal this week is to wrap up SOME of my unfinished projects.  I feel like my house is getting over-run by them, and this week is a week that I need to feel some sort of accomplishment.  This weekend was one of THOSE weekends at work and I was in a horrible mood (not that my attitude has greatly improved, so far).  I ended up starting Andrew's skull cap over, Sunday - I do hate frogging and I did  not have the patience to frog an entire row (I probably should have put it aside until I was in a better mood).  I worked all day yesterday on Andrew's blanket and was able to get 7 rounds done (I think).  I watched Invincible, Avatar, White Oleander, Spring 1941, Narnia (Prince Caspian) and Salem Witch Trials yesterday while crocheting.  I had seen most of the movies before so I was able to crochet at a pretty steady pace.
