Finished objects

During this busy week, I've made some time for actually crocheting. I've been working on a Tunisian afghan, had to recalculate starting chain, stripe pattern and total number of rows to get it as large as I want.
I also finished the "Spider doily" I made it in black for my daughter. I need to block it, might do that this evening. I've also made 4 more blocks for Warm Up America. I think the joining party is Nov. 12 at Michaels. Then last night I crocheted 8 little hats for the "Caps to the Capital" campaign. I started with the pattern from the lastest issue of Crochet Today, Oct/Nov 2006, from the article A Capital Idea by Daryl Brower. Of course, after making the first exactly from the pattern, I then had to make changes and try new things. Then I started with the "Baby Shells Preemie Cap from Cay Litchfield" . That's a version using worsted weight yarn, I used Red Heart Soft. There's also "a sport weight version".
One the last cap I was using blue, and was almost out of yarn, so I decided to add some stripes with the other colors that I had on hand. It really came out nicely.
