Finished Saturday: Hats for Steve and Sam

About the only thing that comes to mind right now that I finished by myself this week without any part of it done by Rachel (she did part of the pumpkin hat) are these two hats for Steve and Shad Clanton. Maybe I should post stuff she and I worked on together anyways because she isn't posting FF herself?? Hmm.... And I should really start calling it Finished for the Clanton's, not Finished Friday!

Made the pattern up for both.. very simple, nothing fancy. The challenge getting them close enough the my guess of the right size, which it is a problem with beanies like this and why I usually don't make them.

Me posing with Steve's on... I told Steve he was lucky he even got it , because I did NOT want to take it off to send it, I loved it so much!

Tried a new stripe technique - white sc, black sc, white dc, black sc, and white sc, instead of what I did for the other two hats - a round of dc in the contrasting color, a row of dc in the main color, and a row or dc in the contrasting color. It was meant to be more like his coat (see below), and I really how it turned out!

So did they like them?? Umm... judging from this pic, and the fact their mom asked me already if they were machine washable already (they only got them yesterday), because they aren't taking them off - I would guess yes! :)

If this is successful, in the future I might set up a linky list you can join. Projects do not have to be projects you procrastinated on, they can be anything, sewing/crocheting/knitting or any other fiber art, and they need to be FINISHED! :)

Finished Friday - Hats Galore

I skipped last week, because, frankly, I didn't have anything done! I had a ton of projects ALMOST done, so I have a lot of HATS to share this week with you! :)

Preemie Baby Bluebird Hats for twin baby girls in the NICU. :)

I can't take all the credit for these - Rachel and I made them together! :)

Angry Bird Hat for an order that's long overdue... Rachel also helped me make the facial features on this one, and mom sewed the eyes on (I have yet to figure out the blanket stitch!)!

Side-view

Hat's for the Clanton "twins"!

Sam and Sarah - Love these two!! So adorable! They were born half a world apart, to different biological parents (Sarah is adopted), but look how much they look alike!

Sarah's Hat

Sam's Hat

Yvonne (the "twins" mommy) shared this adorable picture of her and Sarah!

I also finally got these two Angry Bird Hats done.... and again, I can't take all the credit as Rachel did most of the facial parts, and actually she did the main parts done as well.... I just sewed them together. (Which is the reason why I HATE making these - sewing them together!)

And a bluebird hat that was for an order until they changed their mind on sizes. ;)

I also have a football have almost done.. it's missing the stitches, and am working on several other hats, but you'll have to wait until next week to see those! :)

It's hat season! Happy Friday!

Finished Friday - Slippers (again)

Well, I'm home form NY (as of yesterday!)!! I didn't get too much done at the airport/on the plane, when I wasn't too tried to crochet or read I was reading this book, it's SOO good! (Thanks Summer!!) So anyways, all I got done this week was another pair of slippers.

Last time they were for Yvonne, this time they are for Steve, Yvonne's son, and Selah's big brother. I forgot to take a picture before I sent them... thankfully Yvonne sent me one. So now I have a picture to blog! :)

His feet are quite large, so I was a challenge getting them big enough and still keeping them the right proportions, but it looks like they fit! :)

Finished Friday - Slippers

Again, not a project that I have been putting off for a long time, but never the less, it's done! And get this!! The ends are woven in unlike most of my FF post where they are just tucked under!! LOL

I haven't made slippers in a long time! I almost forgot how!! :) These slippers are for Yvonne, Selah's mommy. Clanton's are from Flordia, so being in upstate NY as it's getting colder is a little hard for them to adjust too. Plus Yvonne says they keep it really cold in Selah's room to keep her a good temp.
