Here is @Donnie6DI with his replica Jayne Cobb's Cunning Hat. He seems pleased with it.
I love making things for appreciative folks! :-)

"Damn straight!"
Last week one of my twitter friends, @Donnie6DI, asked if I could make him a replica of a #nerdtastic hat from the television show, 'Firefly'.
Since I was unfamiliar with the show, I turned to Google for help. Turns out, this hat is a big deal in the crafty/geeky community. There are tons of versions of this hat on the internets... I looked at them all and pictures of the original; and here is what I came up with.
Here is my contribution to a prayer shawl for a friend of one of my twitter pals.
I used Hobby Lobby's " I Love This Yarn!" (Can you tell that this is one of my favorite acrylics? Lol); and I adapted Deneen's Baby Bubbles Blanket stitch pattern, and then edged with double crochet.
Here is a Fiber Tagging or Yarnbombing project that I installed on Main Street in support of the Google On Main initiative.
It is composed of handwoven squares with freeform crochet lettering and a crochet border... made from acrylic yarns from my stash.
It remained on Main Street for 4 days until Sugar Daddy went to retrieve it.

I used Deneen St. Armour's Baby Bubbles pattern for this blanket for a friend's new grandbaby.
I used Hobby Lobby's 'I Love This Yarn!'
I used an M hook with double strands instead of a J hook with a single strand like I used for Baby Zander's Blanket.
Here are a few Kindle Sweaters that I have made.
These are loomknit using the pink knifty knitter long loom (using acrylic yarn from my stash) with a freeform crochet handprint. If you know me, you know how I love the handprint motif!
I just wanted to share this sweet little bird brooch (from Linda Permann's book "Crochet Adorned"). After crocheting, the bird and the hanger, I felted them in the washing machine.
And then attached my first real attempt at designing jewelry: a memory wire bracelet with amethyst chips, glass beads & shell beads. The earrings contain the same components but have sterling silver head pins & ear wires.
