Thanks! I tried very hard to make sure the fabric was properly aligned before cutting. I usually work in solids so I don’t have to be so meticulous, lol.
@endymion - I love the crocheted dragon!
@plaidpineapple - wonderful crochet - the border for your afghan looks great!
@irid3sc3nt - nice phone holder!
@Trillian - your tiny dresses are so cute!
@tendstowardschaos - I love making crochet bowls & baskets - most of my family members have been gifted at least one! The jacket is awesome and I love the Musselburgh hats you’ve made!

Your Afghan squares are gorgeous! They make for such cheerful blankets. And your hats are too cute! Hats that look like they’re eating your head are just my kind of whimsical even if I don’t think I could quite pull off that look (I’ve wanted to make and octopus hat for soooooo long, lol).

@jellybean , your hats are hilarious, but also beautifully colored at the same time. and your blanket squares are lovely.
Sorry guys, I both got crazy busy with Ada’s birthday, but also somehow turned off ‘Watching’ this thread sometime in the last two weeks. I turn off lots of threads, because as a mod, I need to watch lots of things here, but can’t get too tangled up in reply posts. But I’ve never accidentally turned off the HPC before! I promise to do a points update soon.

Brief Description:
Had fun making and packaging these for a charity bake sale. I tried to do the slice-and-bake cookies like a polyclay cane, but it didn’t work very well. The idea was for them to look like lemon slices. Oh, well! They still taste good.

I love this sweet egg bread. The recipe makes two round loaves, so I donated one and kept the other. It’s a yeast bread, so a bit more complicated than most of my kitchen projects. But well worth it!
