The result of a 2 week break between school and my internship...

I crochet prolifically, especially when chem labs have kept me from the art. Durning my break between the end of finals and the start of my internship, I crocheted almost everything in these pictures (all except 11 hats, 1 scarf, and 1 pair of gloves). All of these items will be donated at some point during the summer, bringing my total to 238. 

Items:
21 hats
6 ear warmers
4 pair of mittens

4 scarves
2 cowls

2 skeins of yarn I can't crochet with

Total Fpdc Hat

Hello. Happy Summer, everyone. I'm still waiting to start at the Smithsonian, so in the meantime, I was able to write up a hat pattern I've been meaning to do for about a year now. Here it is. I'm going to need to take better pics at some point.
