It's a rose, I swear.
See?
And that's just what happens when you leave me alone with duct tape. Not pretty.
2. I started a Blossom Festival Scarf:
I know, my photography has improved a lot.
I was cranking along on this for a few days (in early December) but as you can see, I came very close to running out of yarn. I put it in a drawer, and I have the rest of the yarn I need now, but I still haven't pulled it out.
3. I made these things:
What are they called, anyway? They were both last minute Christmas gifts, along with this snowflake I made. I know I took a picture of it, but I can't find it!!!
4. I made this hat Saturday night:
Thanks to my tissue box for modeling.
This took me as long as it takes to watch Revenge of the Sith twice (don't ask) plus about half an hour. I still need to add the crochet border, and maybe something on top, but I'm too busy glaring at it. It turned out way smaller than I thought it would, so I now have to find a small person to bestow it upon. I am pretty proud of it, since it was my first experience with colorwork. (Although I do need a lot of practice!) I used this pattern, and I would definitely make it again if it was bigger.
5. I watched people open presents. I was a little worried about this scarf:
not being liked, but I had no worries about this one:
In fact, the seven year old recipient of the blue scarf absolutely adored it, and wore it out that night (with a black sweater, but I didn't even mind that much). The nine year old recipient of the pink scarf didn't really care. Later that night, I just laughed, because it was the exact opposite of what I expected to happen. In general, everything I made went over pretty well, so I was really happy!
I have one last super secret sewing project that I have to have done by the 14th, so I won't be working on other stuff much. I'm glad to be back, and I hope everyone had a happy holidays!
