First is a car blanket I did over the (omg so fricken cold) winter to keep my legs warm on the drive to work. My heater works, but this past winter was so fricken cold it didn't seem to work fast enough. The blanket's roughly 30x32ish and is just a simple shell stitch. It was also the first time I'd done multiple colors.

Then I made a new blanket for my dog. The one she'd been using had been a wedding gift to my parents 40some years ago, and had a few big holes in it. I did a ripple pattern all in single crochet. OMFG, never, ever again. It's about 37x48ish, and smaller than her previous one, but she's adjusted to it by now. When I asked my mom what colors I should use she said, "Labrador beige and red."

Here she is curled up on the couch.

Finally, I made a case for my cell phone following this pattern, adjusting it for the size of my cell. I'd never joined work together, or made a loop, or added a button, so this was all new to me. I think it came out pretty well.
