Spiderman Ghan


I'm late as usual. I finished my nephew's Spiderman Rippleghan today.

Thanks to Ravelry, I found this ghan, mitten and a hat. I'm making the mittens and hat for Christmas 2008. I'm going to start the mittens this month. I belong to A Loose Knit Group, who's project this month is mittens or gloves. The object of this group is to help you get a head start on knitting your Christmas gifts or any gifts you need.
