This is what I've been up to over the past month. I don't have a lot of crochet talent (working on it) and am pretty pleased with what I've made. Please note that I had to use my iPad for the pictures and the colors are off pretty badly.
Next is a Batman inspired hat and scarf for my 6 year old nephew. The hat pattern I made up, the scarf I used the pebble stitch (with a row of DC for the yellow) for.
Next is a baby afghan, hat, and booties I made for my cousin's baby girl. Hat is my own pattern, the booties pattern I'm not sure where it's from because I've been making them for years and don't have a source, the afghan is this pattern: http://www.handcraftingwithlove.net/yarn/pat-ripple.html This is the third baby blanket I've made in this pattern, all the babies in my family get one. The colors on this one are lavender and mint green. It's a really easy pattern and has a classic appeal, I love it.
The yellow bonnet is the same pattern as the white one.
Next is this baby dress http://web.archive.org/web/20091026134444/crotiques.com/bgs.htm, pale mint green (same green as the baby blanket and ombre throw) with pale pink ribbon, here's the pattern, I made it longer than the directions say. This was my first ever non-hat, scarf, or booties clothing item I've made and other than a small amount of confusion with the pattern, it turned out really well.
The last two are a hat and booties I made with my own patterns and Red Heart Buttercup yarn.
I'm happy to share any of my own patterns if anyone's interested, they're all pretty simple. Also, I wrote up detailed directions for how I changed the diaper cover pattern so I can make more in the future and would be happy to share that.

The first two pictures are two squares from my tweaked version of this pumpkin throw: http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/pumpkin-face-throw
The next afghan is my twist on these two patterns: https://hookersdontbite.wordpress.com/2012/12/16/free-pattern-somewhere-over-the-rainbow/ https://hookersdontbite.wordpress.com/2011/04/26/free-pattern-color-party-throw/ The colors are pale mint green, robin's egg blue, and teal.
