I thought the four-day weekend was going to be full of a lot more rain than it was, but we ended up getting very little rain, which meant I spent a lot of time walking around the city.  And not at home crafting my little heart out.

But I did make progress on my Big Three Projects for  Others.

I've made some serious head way (teehee) on the fennec fox pattern.  I'm excited about getting it all done so I can use the fur ribbon on the right as the tail.  I LOVE the fur ribbon.

I must share a link to this image of a fennec fox wearing another fox as a hat.

I finished reading June's Amigurumi bookand made a mushroom Monday night.  I'm ready to write my review!

This is my side of the couch after some clean up, believe it or not.  I did swap out the fingertubes of one of Andrew's gloves.  I made them originally with a chunky weight yarn (5) which forces his fingers apart at the joint and are uncomfortable.  The new fingertubes are in a lighter DK yarn (3).  I did one glove, which is going to get some test-wearing before I redo the other glove's fingertubes.

The unredone glove is in the image above sitting on my Tunisian purse, which I worked on a little.  The tan acrylic I used for the mushroom is there.  You can see the loops of an in-progress Conan which I am compelled to make.  Just this weekend I saw TWO loopy crochet items at Urban Outfitters (a gigantic cowl and a hat).

The pile also contains two (two!) hats that are complete duds.  One a crochet hat and one a knit hat.  Both in the same cream yarn.  I spent a lot of time on Ravelry looking for the perfect hat pattern and ended up creating these two from scratch.  Sadly, neither works.  Apparently all hats pale in comparison with the hat I made, and lost, last year.
