Unfinished business

This weekend, I didn’t make as much progress on the hats as I might have because my friend from third grade, the woman for whom I had made the original Cookieghan:

crochet cookies, crochetbug, crochet blanket, crochet circles, crochet throw, crochet afghan,
The first cookieghan

came to visit, and she came bearing gifts, one of which was this crochet hook organizer made by a crafter known as Neon Greens:

who not only makes and sells items to help crocheters and knitters get organized, but also has an assortment of fiber confections that are a visual delight:

As I hadn’t seen my third grade friend In Real Life for at least a couple of decades, we had a lot of catching up to do, and while I spent most of my weekend visiting with her, I did manage to get a little crochet done, finishing the crochet work on the blue, earflap hat I had started:

as well as this light coral, earflap hat for a baby:

and even managed to get a start on a few decorative elements for the light coral hat:

Tomorrow and Tuesday, I am going to put the finishing touches on these two hats and then get started on a sixth (and final) hat for my cousin’s Christmas project, but at the moment, I am going to use what time remains to catch up with my friend from third grade so that tomorrow morning when I take her to the airport, I know that I packed in as much catching up and visiting as was possible.
