First I whipped up a little Baby Bunny Hat:
for my sister's upcoming baby. Of course, it'll be nearly a year before the baby can wear it, but I just couldn't resist!
Then I made some bath poofs:
which are super easy and fast. Not as nice in the shower as I was hoping, but still nice. I might modify the pattern slightly (mainly use a bigger hook) to make it poofier and better for making good soap lather.
Jim mentioned he needed a scarf to go with his not-super-warm-but-neat-looking coat so I took it as an opportunity to deplete some of the stash and whipped up a simple double-crochet stitch scarf:
Its not super long, but is thick & warm and does the trick. Jim is pleased :)
Finally, I decided I was tired of my current winter hat and needed a new one. This resulted in creation of the Urchin Beret:
I screwed up a bit in the beginning of the hat, having misunderstood the pattern. Luckily the yarn style and the stitch used made it pretty well masked so I just continued on making the rest of the hat the right way. Its a little lumpy and asymmetrical but still looks fine when worn and is nice & warm.
Tonight I'm going to go to Natural Stitches for the Ravelry knit-along, and Thursday going with KT to the Knit One knit-along. Lots of social knitting for me! woo!
Sock pentathlon starts Saturday--can't wait!! :D
