Crochet for charity

My latest crocheting has been for our local church fete, which will be held tomorrow. I have been busy making beanies, in all sorts of colours for kids of all ages.
I have really enjoyed making these beanies and just need to weave in a few ends before taking them to the church tomorrow morning.
I also need to take some photos to add to my blog and ravelry page.
I wanted to make a few scarves too but I found them to be a little time consuming and wanted to donate as many items as I could.
I also have a couple of pattern tests on the go - a skirt for my niece and an elf hat which is designed to be a photography prop for babies.
I am also in the process of making a scarf for a swap in the Aussie Swappers group on Ravelry. I received the yarn - Debbie Bliss Pure Silk. I received it from my partner in hanks and as I don't have a yarn swift or ball winder, 1 hank took me and DH almost half an hour to wind and there are 3 hanks total! I will have to get onto winding it into balls so that I can start making the scarf.
