Crafty Business

This weekend I went to a craft sale... you know the kind, the annual Christmas craft shows.  Full of all kinds of things people make and sell.
I was surprised at the knitted gifts there... there were (amongst several hundered exhibitors) about 3 knitted gift stalls.  Two of them were the knitted scarf ones.
I mean the kind where you just cast on 22 stitches and knit straight until the ball is done... using some of the fun fur.  very simple stuff :)
 
I was interested because I have just been creating some things for a friend, who is expecting a preemie any minute now.
 
I was inspired by the craft show to knit up a couple of the fun fur scarfs for her older children... one in cookie monster blue and another in a pink and purple 'fun print'.  The blue one is finished, and I'm just beginning the other!
I crocheted a tiny dress and bonnet for the baby, and also a bonnet for DD... a little on the big side, but the ideas are just pouring in as to how I can improve it.
Hopefully... pictures later!
