Spreading warmth to necks all around town!

[redmelde.livejournal.com]

I have been busy. Here's a portion of the proof.



Giftmas present for my friend Amy. Crocheting is so much faster than knitting, and as we're approaching the 11th hour, I think everything from here on out is going to be crocheted.


Cowl for my mom. Like a scarf, but with no pesky loose ends to come unwrapped from around your neck!


Top may be raised in case of inclement weather or a trip to the 1950s! I think I might make one of these for myself. Snazzier and more outrageous, of course. I like it because it keeps my ears warm without messing up my pigtails.

Done so far:
Mom's cowl.
Amy's scarf
Sneakret gifts



Still on the list for completion:

-Fleece cowl (1 hour)
-Beanie - 80% complete (1 hour)
-10 wintergreen lip balms (30 minutes)
-Flower scarf (3 hours)
-Mohair lace scarf - in progress (1.5 hours)
-Scallop edging on scarf (30 minutes)
-Finish box stitch scarf - 90% complete(30 minutes)
-2 earflap hats (2 hours)
-Embroidered skull patch (2 hours)
-Mix CD - finalize playlist, burn, create cover art (1.5 hours)
-assorted felt and crochet flower pins for stocking stuffers.
-Gift wrapping.

That's 12.5 hours of crafting plus wrapping and whatever time I have leftover for making flower pins. Good thing I'm getting off work early tomorrow and have all day Thursday and Friday off, too. Otherwise I'd have to take my project bag in and craft at the lab bench!
