Some quick crafting 'wins'

I've kind of committed myself to doing several larger projects over the next couple of months so I wanted to get some quick wins out of the way.  I'm also this close to finishing a pair of socks but sincw I've been working on them since earlish 2011 I've decided they deserve a post of their own.

First off the block is a small apple.  I have no idea why I decided that I needed one but it cannot be denied  'tis cute!

Then I made a cucumber (the colour's not good on the below, it looks like something else... or maybe that's just me)

Then I made a little owl (to put in  pocket)

All of the above will likely end up in my 'take up to Sydney when next you go' bag so my nieces can lucky dip what they want from it.  Then I'll put anything left over into a charity collection.

And then today I finished off a washer with a fish on it (I haven't decided if this will be mine or not, I'm overdue for one but I know my nieces love them.  My sister's told me that they refuse to use anything other than my washers.  Hence me being overdue to keep rather then gift one)

I also finished off a scarf that I'm honestly not that happy with.  I started it a fair while ago and I just don't like it.  It's pretty enough but it's not something that I'll find useful.  I'll likely end up frogging this and reusing the yarn in someting else.  I'll have to see how I feel after a month or so.  For now it's been put aside.

That's it for now (and back to the socks... except that it's HOT today ( 37^oC now atm, down from 41^oC an hour or so ago).  I'm not really that motivated to drape wool over my lap unless I absolutely need to.
