Polar Bear Ear Warmer

For my annual crocheted Christmas gift, this year I made polar bear ear warmers.  I utilized the pattern created by Hopeful Honey. In continuing with my rule of only using scrap yarn, I changed the color scheme from brown to all white.

Loofa

Some of my friends and I decided to make a gag gift for one of our co-workers after he asked for a crocheted blanket for Christmas.  None of us have the time to make a blanket as we all have several other projects going on for family members.  So we decided to make a bath set of loofas and wash clothes out of...
