update update update!

i'm ALMOST done with daddy's hat! i just started the ribbing. he had mentioned he wanted ear flaps, and i still haven't decided what i'm going to do to about that. i may make seperate ones and then kitchener stitch them together. or he might just not get ear flaps :)

my aunt emailed me and told me instead of all of us getting presetns for everyone (there's only 8 of us) we're going to adopt a family and then pick names. so she rigged it and i got grandma (thank goodness) since i've been doing her table runner forEVER now.
i need some opinions (amber :) ) how much longer it should be. i think i've decided it shouldn't be one that hangs over the edges because either the table is not used for eating (most of the time) or there are 6 or so of us sitting there (using the head spots)... .anyways, i'm not sure how much it will block out though, so i'm not sure how much longer to go.

i was going to make my aunt a cool entrelac scarf, but now she's not my name. but i want to do the scarf anyways, so i might just work on it, and if i do it, i'll give it to my dad to give it to her (he has her) and then she can have it. or i'll just give it to someone else. ha.

that's all

Crafty Hello!

Hello--

Since I love my job, but they don't pay me nearly enough, I'm creating gifts for my loved ones this Christmas...

Here's an update:
Mom's Breast Cancer Awareness Scarf is done (albeit a little wonky)

Grandma's Table Runner is not nearly long enough, but I have to continue going with it...
(Sorry for the blurriness of the pictures)

Dad's Double Knit hat is in the works, but I don't have pictures of it yet.




Chandler's Wild Stripes Baby Blanket is about 4/9ths of the way to completion. when I finish knitting it mom is going to put some piping on it and backing. I hope he likes it. Or, more importantly right now, I hope Naomi and Jesse like it since Chandler will only be 9mos when I give it to him.

Otherwise I've finished my whole hat/scarf/mittens set for myself... looks like I only have pictures of the hat on here...
Ill do my best to get the rest of the pictures and some updates soon! :)
