NEEDLEWORK: CROCHETING AWAY FOR CHRISTMAS!

I don't know about you, but I am crocheting, crafting, and knitting my behind off!  Don't get me wrong, I am thoroughly enjoying it, but it seems this time of year I always have a crochet hook, paint brush, or something artsy in my hands!  I have links to several free patterns for crochet and loom knitting to share with you!  There is still lots more to do, and it is a great activity to keep me busy while I am recovering from my injections.  Oh, there is awesome news: I have my camera back!  No more crappy web cam pics!  I thought I would share with you what I have made so far, and what I still have in my queue.  If you wanna hear about my plans and see my progress read on!

I have so far finished:

Green Scarf, Purple Scarf and hat, Red/Black/White Scarf, White Scarf, Black Mitts - 2 pair, Cream Mitts - 3 pair, Gray Mitts - 2 pair, Pink Infinity Scarf, and a Blue Hat with a flower embellishment!

I still have to make: about 6 scarves, 4 hats, and 4 more pairs of mitts, in addition to a bath set, and a bunch of jewelry!

Man, I need to get Busy!!!  Here are the Projects again:

And here are links to the patterns, BTW, they are all free patterns found on the internet, except for the cream mitts.  I made those ad hoc.  Basically, I just made a dishcloth and then folded it in half and crocheted it closed like a tube.  Then I put some pretty trim on them.  Viola!  Mitts!  They are very fast and make a great last minute stocking stuffer.

Here is the pattern I used, and several others!  I hope you have a blast with them, I know I did!

LOOM PATTERN LINKS:

Black and Gray Mitts:  I used 2 strands of yarn for the black ones and one strand for the gray ones.  The effect is a nice thick warm mitt for the black, and a net/lace like effect for the gray!  Link can be found below:
