Busy, busy

Well, don't you know it,...I have no idea where I filed that doily pattern, or where I got it in the first place. Will have to search again later.
Well, this has been a busy, fun week.
On Monday, I went to the Shawl Ministry gathering, we had about 3 dozen compeleted shawls and about 25 hats. Three people wanted help with how to put the Fun Fur round on, 1 on how to finish the ends, all the hats were great. Tuesday, I went to work and a co-worker & her daughter (my private lesson students) had 6 finished hats! That evening, daughter #2 asked if I could make her an afghan. I've been asking her for a year what color she wanted, but she kept saying she didn't want one. She took a stack of books, and leaflets to her room & selected about 8. Then we sat together and made a final decision on pattern and color.
On Wed. I finally got a chance to get to the PA State Farm Show, our equivalent to a State Fair. I had entered 3 items, my doily placed 2nd, the baby dress 2nd, and the matching booties 3rd. I'm very pleased with that. Wed. evening DH went with me to AC Moore and I bought the yarn for the afghan and got started on it almost immediately. Then she asks if I could make her a hat. Her boyfriend bought her a jacket for Christmas and a white Magic Scarf, so she wanted a white hat. Luckily I had bought 6 skeins of Homespun off eBay figuring it would make a nice shawl, or I might work it into an afghan design. I selected a pattern called Addison Hat, but had trouble trying to work stitches into stitches with the Homespun. I created my own hat, using shells, and working the next row of shells into the ch 2 space of the shell. I made it extra long, and turned up the last 3 rows, so it's doubled over her ears.
