I've been having fun with this, again with my trusty gray N-hook. And I took a good look and figured out the proper way to do corners in solid granny squares. They look a lot better than the ones I used to make! :)

Another close-up as I experiment with camera angles. I need to figure out how all the other arts and crafts bloggers always manage to take such awesome pictures. (Maybe I'm just my own worst critic? *shrugs*)

Another Waldo Hat. :)
I know, still needs the poofy thing at the top. I haven't found my poof-maker yet, and as you can tell from the last one, jury-rigging the poofs is not my strong suit. ;P

Beanie in progress.
I have a set of four new circle looms, so there will be a bunch of new Knifty Knitter stuff as I play with my new toys. :)

Ruffled Scarf -- now, with some ruffles!
I'm not using a pattern, but if you want to do your own in this style, just made a loooong chain, then double crocheted around both sides, then at each end I'd dc 2, ch 2, dc 4, ch 2, and dc 2 all in the top loop, and at that point you've got a loooong rectangle. I tied off and on each side I'll be "triple-crocheting" by my definition, which means wrapping around the hook three times instead of one like you'd do to double crochet.
So it's look like |-///- .
"Right" side:
"Wrong" side. Am I the only person who likes the "wrong" side better?
