It's About Time!

It's about time I posted something!

I've done a lot of crocheting, just not a lot of posting about it!

I finished the Bernat Mystery Afghan blocks. I just haven't finished putting them together yet. Soon, very soon! This bag is full of blocks.

I made this little lion for my niece for Christmas.

I made two scarves for the Special Olympics. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of them before I turned them in.

I made this scarf for my sister for Christmas.

I made this scarf for myself.

I started working on this sweater for myself. I haven't gotten too far!

Now I'm working on Caps for Good. Caps for Good is a program sponsored by Warm Up America that runs from November, 2010 through February, 2011 and calls on knitters and crocheters to help protect infants in some of the word’s poorest countries so they survive the critical first month of life. Visit www.goodgoes.org/caps today for more background information about the campaign, FAQs, basic crochet and knit patterns, where to ship the caps, and a colorful greeting tag which you can cut out and attach to your cap with well wishes for the new mother.

My goal is to make two pounds of Caps for Good. Two Pounds? Yes, two pounds. I used an A.C. Moore rewards certificate to purchase two huge Lion Brand Pound of Love yarns in Lavendar and Denim that I intend to make nothing but Caps for Good with! So far, I have nine lavedar caps made. I am using the basic hat pattern that is suggested (with one minor alteration). I don't see a need to get overly fancy with these tiny hats when their main purpose is warmth.

I took a break from baby caps to make this ugly doll hat for Jalen's friend. It's a surprise for her birthday!
