Happy (Belated) Birthday Mom!

Happy (Belated) Birthday Mom!  Wednesday (yesterday) was my mom's 41st birthday, and for her birthday, I made her  a pair of fingerless gloves in an avacado green Vanna's Choice Lion Brand yarn.  This is my second pair of fingerless gloves that I've made (the other in a baby pink) and I've made some modifications, like adding ribbing on the ends and doing a right cable on the right glove and a left cable on the left glove.  The gloves were simple, they only took a few hours to make and like all of my own patterns, I'll post my patterns online. 

These are the gloves:

Enjoy!

Bully Woolies Coin Purse

Hi!  In June, I made a little felted coin purse from a Bully Woolies kit that I bought at a local yarn shop.  Just today, I sewed on the button and finished it off.  The coin purse was my first project using double pointed needles and I'm using it as the project to teach my neighbor how to knit with double pointed needles.  This was the "Jewel" colored coin purse kit.  It was fairly easy, even though it was my first time using double pointed needles.  The coin purse is roughly 4" by 4", and very compact.  I recommend making this if you want a quick and easy project.

There's more to come!
