Baby Sets, and Another Hat

I finished a girls' baby layette. I started this one a while ago. I just finished the blanket. It's the Corner To Corner Throw. The sweater is the Baby Surprise Jacket (crochet). The hat is Tiffany's Side to Side Pumpkin hat, and the booties are in a pattern book I have. The mittens are Ruth's Crochet mittens, which is no longer available online.
And a boys' set, too. Also started the whole set a while ago. I had a bunch of the blue yarn leftover, and so I started the blanket just recently and finished it. Same patterns as above. Both sets are newborn sized and are going to Bright Start on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. (With a bunch of other stuff). Soon as I get everything together and boxed..
And this hat I have had done for a long time, too. It's made with yarn (and the hat pattern!- her own pattern) gifted to me by a fellow crocheter I met at a Sit and Stitch locally. She dies and sells her own yarn. I went to a few of the meetings. Then they shut the meetings down due to Covid. But they recently started them back up again (last Saturday). I didn't go last Saturday (because I didn't know they started them up again). I went this morning and I was the only one who showed up. But that's okay. I got to talk to one of the ladies who work (and own) the bookstore where the meetings are. 

I am trying to finish up another project I started a long time ago, a baby bunting. I am actually pretty much done with it, I just need to do the tying chain for the bottom, and sew the buttons on it. And weave in about 100 ends.  I started another bunting last night too. (For Bright Start.)  Same pattern as this one. But I am using Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo in "Icelandic", and dark grey for the borders. I haven't taken pictures. I also finished some cross bookmarks. I have pictures of them, I just need to upload them. (Or download them?) Actually I have a few things finished, I just need to get the pictures on here. I guess I'll save those for another post.
