Lots of finished objects :)

Knitting news!
I finished my first antler hat (designed by tincan knits), and I love how it turned out :)
I also cast off a DK weight barley hat (also by tincan knits), this was for my secret santa at craft group, along with the maize mittens I made :)
I finally cast off the (right) reunion cushion cover (by sockmatician). I like how this looks but it did take me a couple months to finish lol
I love the buttons I selected :) and I got a feather cushion to put inside :) Hopefully my uncle will like it, even though it is only one lol
I made my first cherry rascal hat (by Joeli creates), I used two colours and was unsure at first but it grew on me :)
I also cast off my first ironrath hat (by Lisa Mutch), changed the stitch count to (hopefully) fit a 2 year old. The yarn is far too busy to show the pattern but I'm hoping the little girl will still like it.
I adore this pattern, so cute :) this is Bonnie wee mouse (by Susan Claudino), knit using left over aran yarns (the scarf is DK), it turned out so sweet, I'm a little sad to see him go :)
I finally cast on the cal & mari squid (by Susan Claudino) for my son :) I've finished all the extremities and have just started the body.
I don't like doing so many of the same thing but these weren't too bad as small and fairly fast, though stuffing them was a bit awkward.
The Weasley's patchwork socks in West Yorkshire Spinners signature 4ply. I'm not loving these but I'm still persevering, in the hopes they'll be finished (and fingers crossed fit) for xmas.
Xmas gifts for the community!
I've made a total of 3 gift packs to be distributed in the community.
One: for an over 75's male, it contained:
the antler hat, gloves, dominoes, cards, tissues, sweets and a card, also the bag is a mini jute shopping bag.
Two: for a 6 year old boy, it contained:
the cherry rascal hat, sweets, two cars, captain barnacles (from the octonauts), the train driver (from postman pat), two happy meal toys and a card.
Three: for a 2 year old girl, it contained:
the ironrath hat, bonnie wee mouse, two figures (from postman pat), a happy meal toy, sweets and a card.
I'm happy with the gifts I've put together, they may not be much but I'm hoping that they will bring some happiness to people who may not have a lot.
Happy Crafting!
