Christmas Gifts

I've been a very busy girl, and while I haven't been posting, I've sure been crocheting! I'll start with the most recent things I've made: Christmas gifts for my professors and friends I've made this past semester at college.

I made this crochet apple for my Health teacher; it seemed appropriate. Pattern from Lion Brand.

I made this Charger's hat for my History teacher; he's a fan, I'm pretty sure.

I used this pattern for the hat and made the lighting bolt with yellow and white felt and used fabric glue to stick it on.

I made this bag for my math teacher's daughter; it's a saddle bag, get it? ;D I made the body of the bag with a Knifty Knitter, the bottom is single crocheted closed, the handle is finger knitted, and the saddle is felt, glued on with fabric glue.

I made this panda for my math teacher's other daughter. I pretty much made my own pattern, though I used the bear pattern from Amigurumi Two! a little bit for reference.

I made this hat for my friend Hayley from math class. It was made in a strange sort of way; first you do the middle part sideways, then you close up the top, then you work on the bottom.

The pattern is called Margaret's Hat from Lion Brand. I think it turned out cute.

I made this scarf for my friend Cole. I made it myself, with no particular pattern. I think it was 13 stitches across and I did a pattern of hdc, sc, hdc, sc etc. starting and ending with hdc.

I know it's a little short; he wanted red and/or purple, and I was running out of both =P I also know I look tired; this was taken at about 1 am, after I'd wrapped everyone's presents, then realized I had to take pictures; so I unwrapped them, took the dang pictures, and had to rewrap them.

I made this teddy beat hat for the son of my Ceramics teacher; I heard he liked it :)

I used this pattern, but I think I increased one more time than is in the pattern because the kid's a toddler and I was worried it wasn't going to fit him. As you can see, I did the bottom and ear edges in white (I ran out of the blue..)

I made this headband for my friend Kristy in Ceramics. This is the pattern for the headband, and this is the pattern for the rosette (I did the medium size). I made another one of these for my sister. I want to make a bunch of these, they're pretty cool.

With each gift I wrote a note reminding everyone that Jesus is the reason for the season - and so I remind anyone reading this, too! The satisfaction we feel when we crochet a lovely scarf or a cute apple has been is inherited - God, our Father, is a creator too. He send His Son Jesus here because He loves you very much, and wants a relationship with you. Thank you Lord, for such a wonderful gift - You and Your heart. Merry Christmas!
