I finished the 16 Cable Hat for my son’s advisor:
(The picture sucks — sorry!) I used Cascade 220 Superwash. It came out a tad small but I was able to block it.
I am almost done with my Hedgerow socks (using the yarn from the October shipment of the Cookie A sock club):
For a simple pattern, these have taken me an inordinate amount of time! I am eager to be done with them.
I’ve finished crocheting and blocking my hexagons and am now seaming them:
I’m happy with the choice of light brown to seam them. Hopefully they’ll nicely outline the hexagon shape. I’m eager (!) to be done with these long-term projects so I can move on to some others that have been catching my eye. Speaking of being done, I have 60 minutes to go in the 49-hour audiobook of Gone With The Wind. I have loved every minute of it. I was daunted by the incredible length of the audio version but it’s really a riveting story. I’m amazed at how it’s kept my attention.
What are you eager to be done with?

I had just reached beginning point of seaming and tidying my grand-niece’s Owl Obsession when I discovered my soon-to-be-born grand nephew’s ‘theme’ is owls. Guess I need to make another one. I am VERY eager to be done! it will be worth it, and both the moms are the type to cherish my crafty stuff but I am a bit tired of weaving in ends…. with the beaks and eyes and what-not, there are a lot of tiny pieces to sew onto each block. And since they are for a baby and toddler, I need to embroider the center of the eyes, too instead of using buttons as the designer did.
Anyway, enough of my whinging :-}

Yea, making multiples of anything can get a little boring. (Except, somehow, I manage to make hundreds of hats…) Can’t wait to see the photos of your owl-related gifts! Happy holidays, Diana!!!

Thanks! I am looking forward to trying the different color combos, but the ends to weave in are very intimidating :-}
Having a great holiday here, I love that the apartment complex shovels all the snow from our walks!
