Stars and hats

I've been avoiding the yarn aisle when I shop recently, and instead have been trying to use up some scraps.  This kids are helpful in this endeavor, requesting hats and scarves.  Pictured are two hats for Zachary and Abigail.  I also made a similar one for Seth.  Plus two new scarves, one for me (finally) and one for Seth (which tends to live around Curious George's neck.)

Yesterday I pulled out the white and started a garland of snowflakes from THIS PATTERN on the Red Heart Yarn site.  I ended up connecting them all together to make a doily.   I started crocheting about two years ago, with the help of a few books, so the fact that more complicated instructions not only make sense to me, but can transfer from page to brain to a project is pretty cool to me!
