Recently....

Recently, I made 4 hats for my sister's family.  They're heading to upstate NY to see snow next week and had a chapeau situation.  I made the fleece hats that I made before for Christmas a few years ago.  Super easy.  Also made a couple for the monkey-girls.



Recently, I went to camping training so that I would be qualified to take my Brownie troop tent camping.  I learned to make this knot (it might be a clove hitch).



One of the things I learned in that training was that I needed a new hat.  This one is the "rib-a-roni" (ravelry) pattern.  I'm thinking of making another one of these for my Brother in Law.



But also, I learned that I should have a washable wool hat!  So I started this one - a hurricane hat (ravelry).  I'm thinking of making another one for my representative for Warm Hats not Hot Heads. 



Oh, yes, and this.  I recently picked up 98 cases of Girl Scout cookies and passed them out to my troop.

It seems like (a)I haven't finished much in a long time and (b)I don't have much time to do good crafting. 
But here's a run-down on the latest.  I may add pictures later.  Or I may reblog some of the things.  We'll see.

1.Here's what we have in work -
-10 tent bags for DH's Boy Scout Troop.  2 done; 8 to go.  Ripstop nylon.  Blurgh.
-sweater for my new baby cousin.  I have a few more rows of the back, and the left side/sleeve to do.
-socks for my sister - I'm about 2/3 done with the first one.
-washable hat for me - I'm about 1/2 way done with it.
-quilt made from a fat quarter pack I got for Christmas.  It's underway - I'm at a point where I need to iron and make decisions.
2.  Here's what's coming up -
-hats for my sister's family.  Fleece and knit.  Maybe scarves too.  Maybe mittens for the boys.
-new pocketbook for me (a CraftApple pattern I got for Christmas). I have material, but haven't started sewing it.
-I also bought some nice flannel with bicycles today to make PJ pants for me and the girls.
-Oh, and  I bought some felt to try to make a valentines project like this one.

3.  I finished these and I don't think they made it to the blog yet.
-A new hat for me.
-That crazy rainbow hat for El.
-A fat-quarter quilt for my new baby cousin.  La started this and I finished it.
