Looks like nesting, but really it's just procraftination

See, I'm supposed to be working on my Independent Study classes...but mostly I want to craft instead.

First, I made this sweet owl hat for our little boy (using this free pattern! Link)



The only thing about it is that it is supposed to be newborn sized...but ain't no newborn got a head THAT big! (ain't no newborn of ours anyways...hopefully!)

So I made another hat with the same pattern but a smaller crochet hook...



and it's STILL huge.  So I dunno.  I think I need to find some really fine yarn AND use a smaller crochet hook...but right now I'm temporarily tired of making hats, so I'll come back to that later.

Speaking of coming back to it later...I started this blanket THREE years ago, and FINALLY finished it a few days ago! I wanted it to be really big, which meant doing the same pattern for a long long long time...too long for my attention span, apparently, because I'd start doing it while watching a movie or something and then not work on it again for months because it was too tedious.

But this weekend, I finally finished it!

(p.s. ignore how yellowy it looks...that white is really white, the lighting was just bad >.<)

And look how huge it turned out!



So now I feel like I accomplished something :)

And now, I should really go write a 1,200-2,000 word essay on how the policy of slavery affected politics between 1800 and 1880...
