last projects of 2016

I’ve been keeping my hands busy!  The Rainbow Granny Shawl (pattern currently being tested, will release soon) is complete:

I’ve also made 2 more hats for the Pussyhat Project (check out my post about the first 2 here) using the Black Cat Slouch Hat crochet pattern:

And I made my 7th Ribbed Waffle Hat as a slightly late Christmas gift out of Berroco Vintage in Smoke:

I finally put the ribbons on the ornaments I made and 2 of the 4 the recipients took some photos:

I also finished the Sockhead Slouch hat I mentioned in my last post:

Whew!  After all of those Christmas presents I figured I could buy myself a present too, and it just came in the mail today.  6 balls of The Baby Wool from We Are Knitters and all of their knitting needles & crochet hooks:

I have great crochet plans for this.  Can’t wait to share, and those of you who have been around a while will probably find it a bit familiar!

Well, that’s all the news for today.  It was a lot at once and yet I haven’t been doing much else to update you on — I’ve been highly enjoying my days off work.  Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!
