I always have fun making Hermione’s cable and eyelet hat. After the initial really boring ribbed brim, it goes really quickly.

Super Mario Brothers Super Toy Collection!
I made this set for a little boy about to go through chemotherapy for someone in my knitting group. She asked us all if we could make hats or toys for him, and since I figured he’d be getting lots of hats I decided to make some toys. Nintendo isn’t terribly original – once they create a character, they proceed to use that character over and over and over again. If this boy has a Gamecube or a Wii and has played ANY Mario game whatsoever, he’ll surely recognize these characters!

Sunflower Afghan
This afghan was, unsurprisingly, for my mother’s birthday. She loves sunflowers! I’m lucky that she hasn’t stopped liking them. It makes gift giving very easy.

Crocheted Animal Sculptures
Since sometimes I’m lazy about posting my finished objects here, but I still spend a bit of every day looking at knit and crochet projects online, I thought I’d start posting fantastically amazing, amazingly fantastic finds here. This IS a raveling blog, after all, and everyone needs a bit of inspiration!
Obviously this is the first of such posts, which I am lovingly calling “Ravelry in the Wild” because I feel like it.
Today’s find features Shauna Richardson’s animal sculptures. Shauna’s been commissioned to crochet three giant lion sculptures to celebrate London 2012, and you can see why! Click the picture below to see more examples of her work and watch a video about the Lionheart Installation.

Mouse/Rat Amigurumi
I was poking about for a good rodent amigurumi and I just didn’t like any of the free ones I found. So I’ve modified a pattern and made one of my own!

Finished crochet project: Penguin Amigurumi. This is the second time I’ve used this pattern, and I love it just as much as the first time.

Tropical Tea Party
This is my first fingering-weight crochet project, and also my first crochet shawl. The yarn is super soft and drapes beautifully.

Cyndaquil
As soon as I saw this pattern I knew I had to make him because Cyndaquil is my starter in Pokémon Soul Silver.
