I would never have guessed it was your first. Gorgeous!

Awesome!

So, um, I'm about to learn to crochet (actually have a book, yarn, and hook in my bag - meeting my grad school's fiber arts group for lunch ), and I'm wondering - how hard is this project? I'm not thinking for my first, obviously, but I've been needing a hooded scarf for a while, so knowing this was somewhere on the horizon would be neat.

Now I know exactly what to make my friend who loves her kitty hat for Christmas - another kitty hat XD!

As for measuring width, I think the way I'd do it would be to get another fleece hat that fits and measure the width of that one, but that's the handwavey version.

So, normally I really dislike tuxedo t-shirts, but I think that hoodie is brilliant - I mean, it's a hoodie that looks like a t-shirt that looks like a tuxedo. It makes my brain hurt. What's not to love?

I'm a diehard Spider-Man fan who's really sad the comics I love (they're really badly written right now, it's kind of pathetic), but the fans and the folks who craft for them make things better. *sniffs, hugs*

But seriously, this is so well done. I don't even like sock monkeys normally and I still adore this. He's so cuddly and yet ready for action! And your attention to detail really makes it work.

I never would have thought of that. Looks really nice!

That's adorable! (Look, I delurked just to tell you so. )
