I'm working on a crocheted star blanket for my niece. I've been working on it for what seems like an eternity now.

    Very nice :) I feel you on the eternity blanket! About 5 years ago I started a blanket for the boyfriend... only one more strip left! :p

    Otherwise I'm working on a little football player doll for my Uncle. I've lost my knitting mojo and it seems a chore now. Maybe seeing other projects will inspire me :)

    Blankets are such a chore. My husband asked me to knit him a 6'x8' blanket in Dallas Cowboy colors for his rack. I kept trying to tell him that it would be too big for his rack, which is about the size of a coffin. He insisted and I worked like a fiend trying to get it done before he deployed. I sent it to him and he told me he couldn't take it because it was too big for his rack. :mad:

    I just finished a Star Crossed Slouchy hat last night. As soon as I quit procrastinating and get to the store I'll be starting on a series of Christmas hats that we're wearing when we do our tree lighting. We're also volunteering a couple of places during December and we'll wear our festive hats then too. :) Then I should probably quit knitting for myself and start on some of the Christmas gifts I have planned. Not doing nearly as many this year as last. Only those who were visibly excited get knitted goodness from me.

    I'm working on a crocheted throw for my new couch and a knitted scarf for myself. I can't wait to finish these 2 so I can dig into some dishcloths. I am obsessed with knitting dishcloths :)

    I'm working on a wrap. I'm going to give it to my grandma for christmas. If I can figure out how to get a picture on it I will.

    Update: I locked myself out of my yahoo flicker account so I'll try to get it up tomorrow. lol

    I'm working on bitterroot shawl. I'm stalled for the moment because I've been renovating a room (but secretly it is because I am almost to the beading section and I'm scared of beads).

    I currently working on crocheting a grey tweed baby sweater. I've never made one before, so it's quite the arduous task. But I'm about halfway done. Will post pictures when it's done.

    I usually stick to scarves, blankets and hats. Does anyone share patterns?

    I'm finishing up some stranded mittens. The snowstorm we got last week made me start the project.

    I've been working on a basic baby blanket for a while now. I'm still learning the intricacies of crocheting, so it'll do for now. :)

    Thanks! It was the most boring thing I've ever made though. He's lucky I love him. To be fair, he uses it all the time at home.
