Hooky galore!

I can actually only show a few makes because the most are gifts and I'm not entirely sure if the folks I've made them for regularly check the blog; (they aren't on rav though, so all the makes will be put in there, bar one; my season swap offering- which go me, is finished!)

 A hat for my mindee, using a shell stitch for the pattern.
Still playing with the shell stitch, I made myself a pair of wrist warmers - and very nice and warm they are too!
The sudden cold spell meant nice warm slipper socks were urgently needed!  Lovely and warm these are;  made them out of the Debbie Bliss Sublime organic 100% wool I bought, in the sale, from Get Knitted.  Felted beautifully and gosh, so warm and cosy.
A pair of rainbow slippers socks for Rye; these were suppose to be part of his Yule box; but again cold weather has necessitated them beng used sooner.
I have some liquid latex that I've applied to the bottom too, so not so slippy on laminate floors.  I think I need to add some more as I applied small dots, which have flattened into the stitches during wear.
These I have made for my friend's mum.  I just need to felt them down; which will bit a bit of a guess work.  She's about a size 2-3 shoe size - have to see if I can discover a length measurement for that size.
These I love.  The colours aren't really done justice by the photos.  I was inspired by Attic 24's post here  She used a vintage potholder pattern than she adapted. I've used motifs from my book; " Beyond the square: Crochet Motifs" by Edie Eckman.  I don't have any suitable big beads..b ut boy do I want some!  I love her decorations and the colours, definitely want to play some more with other motifs and pretty up further with beads!  My problem is I buy beads that I think are big.. and when they come they are piddling.    So suggestions for big bright and colourful beads please :-)
The other side of the stars.  I've got a couple of round mofits I'm playing with too, for decorations.  They should be finished tomorrow.

Ohhhh, and I've done a beautiful season swap item too; can't wait to show it off, I'm very proud of it.  Alas, this is all I can show for now. ;-)
