Two more

 

Just when I thought I was done, I received two more hat requests. This one is for Max.

This is a second one for Kole, our middle school science teacher. Kole has a green and gold one, but he also wanted one in grey. I was happy to comply!

This morning we had a group photo taken. I can see that three of the girls are not wearing their hats. I'm guessing they didn't want to mess up their hair! Only about half of the kids showed up for the picture. A before school picture must have been a little too much. ;-)

Spring break

Right before spring break, I had one more hat request from Danny. He asked on Thursday, and I managed to finish it in time to give it to him at lunchtime on Friday. He was very pleased!

Yesterday was our Tollway Tatters meeting, and during that time I managed to tat one and a half button ornaments. I finished the second ornament after lunch. 

So, what did I do with my spring break?

I worked on a waffle stitch afghan using the leftovers from all the hats I've made over the past few months. One of the girls in crochet club asked if I could make an afghan in a week. I didn't really think I could, but I gave it a try. I have 9" to go to make it the size I want. 

So, the answer is no. I cannot finish an afghan in a week. Maybe two?

Done!

 

I finally finished with my hat requests! This one is for Blake.

Skyler requested purple.

Owen requested aubergine.

Abby requested aubergine. Now I have to figure out what to do with all the leftover yarn!

Crochet crazy

I've been crocheting like crazy lately, and I've totally forgotten to blog. However, I had to show off my three youngest grandchildren in their new hats. They each chose the colors they wanted, and despite the warmer weather, they wore them frequently!

Who are the other hats for? Honestly, I've forgotten who they've gone to. I do know that I have six more to go!

 

Busy weekend

 

This past weekend was very busy, but also very enjoyable. I managed to crochet four hats. I think that's a record for me. This one is for Exia, who wanted to be surprised.

Natalia asked for lavender.

Kennedy asked for light green.

Karolina requested blue. I'm glad that I was able to fulfill their requests!

We had our monthly Tollway Tatters meeting on Zoom Saturday morning. I was able to complete two button ornaments. I meant to get another ornament tatted today, but it didn't happen.

We had quite a rain storm early this morning. Luckily, the storm cleared out and by mid-afternoon we had sunshine and mild temperatures. Mom was able to sit on the porch swing and enjoy watching the traffic go by. The cats also kept her entertained. We're really enjoying the mild weather, but Dave said the climatologist he follows is predicting a colder than normal March. It will be interesting to see if the climatologist is right!

White on white

 

If only this ornament had 12 spokes, then I could call it a snowflake. Still, the white on white is pretty.

I finished Erika's hat in the cafeteria during lunch today. She loved it!

The blue hat I finished yesterday thrilled Bella. 

I made the mistake of delivering Lauren's hat to her classroom. I had sixth graders begging me for hats. I told them they had to wait until they're in high school. I have something to look forward to!

Sub day

Today was a sub day. I did quite a bit of walking and helping out, but I also had time to tat and crochet.

I started the day with a button ornament. I've already given several to my niece Phoebe. I don't know exactly how many I've made so far, but I know it's at least 50.

One of the language arts teachers admired this hat, so I brought it home and added a pom pom. I'll give it to her tomorrow.

I'm not sure who will claim this hat. I guess I'll find out tomorrow!
