]I don't know about energy, I think it falls more into the category of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder LOL. One thing I know for sure, the girls will have to fight over them. I don't have time to figure out who's getting which one. I've got 3 more done since I posted these pictures.
And in between those, my cousin decided what she wants/needs for Christmas is dark red hot pads. That was easy.

Thanks. Yes, it's true, no two the same. I'm sure I should be making more solid colors, but I get bored with one color and always end up adding at least one more, or using varigated yarn. There are so many beautiful varigated combinations out now, I can't resist them.

Oh how lucky your family will be this Christmas! How about manly looking scarfs for the men? Which one did you enjoy making the most? I would love to make a cowl for some younger girls in my family, the oldest being 16 years old.

Thank you. I haven't made any for the men yet, simply because I'm not sure if the men in my family would use them. Maybe?? As for the younger girls, I made a smaller one for my Great Great Niece Sophia who is 5, . and some of the others will work for the older girls who are 10-16. But mostly, I'm going to let them all choose which ones they like best. I found a lot of the patterns from 11 Crochet Cowls Patterns + 6 Video Tutorials - The Crochet Crowd and others at 40+ Free Cowl & Neck Warmer Patterns: {Knitting} : TipNut.com or pinterest. I found so many, I had (and am still having) a time deciding which one's I like best. Another good site is FiberFlux. Lots of good videos. I'm working on one now called The French Vanilla Button Cowl. Simple, but elegant. I think this one is my favorite, at least the colors. And it was really simple.
Well, now you've got me feeling guilty about the men, hmmmm better browse more patterns. LOL
Happy Holidays, Victoria
