Fall for Crochet

Suddenly I have several crochet project requests from friends and family. I am working on a baby set for a friend's baby. I've finished the hat, mittens and booties and I may make a little sweater, but I haven't found a pattern yet for that. I had made her a baby set when he was first born and now he's grown a little, so she's asked for some warm things to take on their trip North for Thanksgiving.

I was asked to make a red scarf for my kiddo that I babysit to match a pretty sweater she wears to school. I finished it yesterday and her mom loved it. Instead of fringe on the edges, I put scallops and it really looks nice. I failed to take a pic before she left with it yesterday, but I will probably make more of them and post a pic here in the future.

And I am working on some booties for a baby shower I will attend this weekend, although I did go ahead and buy something too, since it was just easier to do that in the amount of time I have to do it. I think I can bang out the booties pretty fast and maybe some mittens, but a blanket is probably going to take too long, and I don't have the thread and all that. But, I certainly will work on that for a future gift to them.

I'll try to post some pics here if I get to it.
