Look, it's the top of my head. This is my Shedir hat, which I love because the pattern is super interesting and yet doable. The yarn is a stretchy cotton, and very soft.

I made a blanket for my Aunt who was in a car accident. it's 100% cotton, and nice and cushy after a trip through the washer and dryer :)

It's been forever! So I'm going to post :)

Here are the ducky pants and hat I knitted for Michael James :)
You can find the free pattern for the hat and booties for charity here.
(The pants with duck feet are a combination of patterns I put together.)

Audrey's Baby Sweater is done!

Four of us did the same sweater pattern and they all came out differently! Pretty cool. Here's Audrey's, she used snaps and pom-pons on the neck placket.

Donna's finished too but her daughter has the picture of it in her camera :)

I need to take a picture of mine.

The shawl is finished!!

2006-07-19T16:44:00.000-07:00

Here it is! All done! Makes me happy :)

This blog is being created so that all UCSC affiliates (staff, faculty, students, alumni) AKA "Slugs" who feel compelled to do so can post pictures of any crafty things they have created to share with others. Since I like knitting and crocheting the best, that's where we'll start, but anyone is welcome to submit anything. Go Slugs!
