While at my cousin's babyshower, I got a few requests. Two of my cousins asked me to make them scarves. These two cousins are really into fashion and wearing what's in, so I was flattered that they wanted one of my scarves.
I finished these and delivered them on Friday. It's my stand-by scarf pattern that I love Shells and V scarf. Its so fast and easy, I can't help but use it over and over.
My grandmother asked me to make her a hat. Her only criteria was that it was warm and black and white.
I used RHSS and used this pattern for a Rolled Brim Hat. The hat didn't seem large enough, so I increased by a few rows. Also, to keep the brim in place, I stitched it on four sides. This way Grandma doesn't have to constantly adjust it.
I wove some white ribbon through and am pretty happy with the result. My mom gave it to Grandma and says she looks adorable in it.
Can you tell I love my grandma? I'm always talking about her!
I haven't worked a single stitch on my Cathedral Rose afghan this weekend. Pi is away for the weekend, so I am trying to finish up Valentine's day crochet for her and her class. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back to the afghan tomorrow.

YOu've got to get a picture of your cute little grandma in that hat! I love the ribbon--great touch!
Great job on the scarves. So love the hat your grandma would totally love it Great job.:)
Very cute stuff! I've never tried that scarf pattern, but it does looks very pretty.
The hat with the ribbon is very nice, also. That's a good idea to tack down the brim.
I think it's such a compliment when non-crocheters ask for a wearable and you've got three people in one week asking!
That hat are scarves are so pretty, but I especialy like the hat! I know what you mean about the weather. We had a couple of nearly 60 degree days here in Cleveland, then it kept getting colder until today it's not even 30, and we got a mountain of snow overnight. It's depressing when winter doesn't end until April, or sometimes not even then. Last year we got a mammoth, dangerous snow storm here on Easter, and Easter fell during April. : (
Your hat and scarfs are awesome. I bet your grandma looks so cute in her new hate. And scarfs for trendy cousins. That is a nice compliment. I hope you had a great weekend!
