One flop, one good one!!

 The Good One

I made a pot holder for my niece in her colors. Nice that she chose my colors as that meant I had the yarn handy!

Frim Classic Crochet the Modern Way by Tove Fevang. 

Added the loop figure it is pretty enough to display. I keep most of mine in a drawer so don’t make them with loops generally. 

The Flop

The fingerless mitt did NOT turn out to my liking. I used Lion Brand Baby Soft and it just stretches out and doesn’t come back to shape.   I may make the second one to just use at home at night. 

Machine knit hats and the start of a new mitt!

 Hats 

I wanted to make hats for the church sale (which was today) but never finished them. Didn't finish weaving in the ends on the hats or the sweaters, or even sew on the buttons. I'm so bad, so tired, and just don't feel great. Lack ambition I guess.

Maybe I will donate to somewhere local.

Mitt for me?

I have joined a GAL (gift along) and am making mitts. I wanted to try making them with a less expensive yarn before attempting making them with some Malabrigo Arroyo.

I am working on the body of the first mitt, but I did finish the thumb! Since I don't like mitts long and down my arm or up onto my fingers, I subtracted to make it more my style. Makes it a little iffy on my part because it has be be just right due to the lace "insert"…had to ask for guidance.

I tried to link the photo but it didn't work, so put the link at the bottom of the photo.

Old Forest Mitts by Michele DuNaier

This is the thumb…the first time I have made a mitt with such a fitted thumb! Worked well, though. I will finish up more later. Mine won't be that long.
