Here are the things I made for my family for Christmas this year. All the hats were made on my Knifty Knitter loom and I crocheted the scarves. They are all made with Homespun yarn and another one (different in all) but are so so soft.... ;D This is my nephew Roddy's, hard to see but are done in a variegated oranges. He likes to hunt. This is for my niece Heather, she loooooves purple. ;D This set if for my Dad, done up in blues. This set if for my mil, it is not Homespun yarn. I don't remember the name of it, but it is super soft. Black with iridescent colors. These hats are for my sil Deb and my brother Buck. Here is the prayer shawl I made for my mil. It is out of Bernat baby yarn. White with a white satin thread going through it. Hope she likes it. And this afghan is just because I had the yarn. LOL Wrong forum but here is the fleece pullover I made for my Dad. It is a light gray with light gray and navy blue ribbing. Hopefully I will be delivering them all tomorrow when we meet up for dinner. ;D

They are my favorites too. Is the hunting one to match fall colors?

Thank ladies, I think they were all a hit! ;D
Yes BR the yarn was in oranges and browns so my nephew can wear it when hunting turkey or when using the bow for deer hunting. Around here if you are hunting with a gun you must must wear flouresent (sp) orange for safety.

Deed you are very talented, and your gift recipients are very lucky. I'm sure your mil would have been thrilled with her prayer shawl.

Thanks Tammie, and I will admit the afghan took a bit longer than that. It was one of those things I started and kept putting down whenever a hot flash hit. Boy was I ever glad to be done with that one as it is big! The round looms I find much easier to work with than the rectangular one. I have the rectangular one and opted to crochet the scarves instead of using that. LOL ;D
