The first thing I did this morning was photograph my newly completed grape fizz earwarmer/headband.

I knew that the temperatures were going to be dropping, so last night, after I had finished my blog post, I got out my 4.0 mm hook and set to work getting the earwarmer/headband done so that when morning came, my ears and I would be ready for the pre-dawn walk with my son to the bus stop.

Here is a side view that shows the modest shaping:

and here is a view from the front:

After the sun had risen and the dog had been walked, I then spent the entire day working on the six sudoku afghan for my son.

I finished all of the squares for the second sudoku puzzle:

along with one square for the third sudoku puzzle:

and got almost everything put away before he walked in the door.

Then, as he was busy ignoring me from a room that is adjacent to where I was doing my work, I continued crocheting one square after another.

I don’t yet know if my efforts will result in a completely completed afghan come Christmas morning, I but I am going to try.
