Two hats and a shawl

[neotoma]

As many of you know, I knit and crochet. I'm still working on a Quidditch scarf for myself(and still hope I'll have it finished for the movie premiere), but I recently finished a few projects.

	Mom's Hat front view A crocheted hat for my mother, who lost the last one I made for her in the supermarket. This one is too garish to lose (I hope). Made from fingering Rowan and the pattern from Interweave Crochet 2004.
	Mom's Hat, side view Each stripe is four rows of half-double crochet, done with a size C hook. The edge is two rows of single crochet and a row of shells.
	Venivincere's hat, front view Using the same Interweave Crochet 2004 pattern and the cheerful Circus yarn from Artful Yarns, I made this hat at The Witching Hour con because it was quieter to crochet during panels than to knit. Also, I'd bought a ball of yarn at the local yarn shop, and I needed to do *something* with it.
	Venivincere's Hat, side view Venivincere liked the hat so much, that I offered it to her. Since it's made from bulky yarn, it only took about two hours to complete. It's comfortable and squashy, and I hope she gets a lot of use out of it.
	Scribble Lace Shawl A Scribble Lace Shawl made from directions in Debbie New's Unexpected Knitting. Made of Berocco Medley yarn and black crochet cotton.
	Scribble Lace Unwound Another view of the shawl -- showing the airy texture and extreme length

I expect I'll be busy finishing up projects for the rest of the month as the holiday season approaches.
