Awesome hat! And I love the colors for the virus pattern poncho. Can't wait to see it when it's done!

On Sunday, I finished the poncho for my boyfriend's grandmother's birthday, which is today. She has been hinting not so subtly about wanting one these colors ever since the first one I made in green a few months back. I'm sure she will be thrilled when she receives it tomorrow:

Today, I am finishing up a hat I started yesterday, which will be a Christmas present for my mother. If all goes well, I will also be making a hat for my brother today as well. The hat my boyfriend's mother wants will be delayed since she requested colors to match Burberry plaid and I don't have any camel/tan yarn. That will end up being more of a New Year's Eve gift, haha.
I realized, between all the birthday and Christmas gifts, I'll have no less than 8 different projects to finally share on social media once the week is over. I've been posting them exclusively here to ensure the element of surprise for the recipients. You're a privleged lot, aren't you?

Gorgeous colors on the poncho! You are on a roll! Your gift recipients are very lucky. I love getting the first looks at all of your projects.Today, I am finishing up a hat I started yesterday, which will be a Christmas present for my mother.

So what do you guys think of this? I was gifted one frim a friend when I took care of her cats when she went to New Mexico on vacation. Mine has a pattern and is a simple V formation like the ones you make, no collar and with sleeves. I absolutely love the sleeves. It keeps the poncho in place and it’s so warm and comfortable.
Is this something either of you would consider doing? I actually love it with the collar. And the longer length is appealing as well.

Loving them more and more. I bet you guys can do this but looks like it would be more work.
Oh, those are so pretty! I can't tell if the top one is knitted or crocheted or a combo. The top one looks more complicated than the other two, but I would love to try one of them, especially the red one. I really like that one. I'll have to look for some patterns.

It is! I used two different color strands of Caron Simply Soft yarn. My boyfriend remarked that the pattern looked like snowflakes.

I finished the scarf. I really like the stitch, but I didn't like the rough border, so I did a single crochet all the way around it to give it more of a finish. This worked up pretty quickly, as I started it on Thursday and finished it today. It helped that I stayed home for once, haha. I definitely will make this again in more colors.
Next up will be a hat for my dad. I made him a brown scarf ages ago, and he asked me for a matching hat last week.
I'd love that!
I was remembering a robe I got as a xmas gift years and years ago. It was a heavy fleece and the bottom was closed up with ribbed ankle holes. I loved that robe
Thank you, KLS. I'm sure it would have been fine without it, but it just looked like it needed a little something extra.I like it! The finished border looks good.
