Happy Thanksgiving

The feast is over, the dishes done, the men are watching football, so I thought I'd post a couple of things I've finished.

First of all, I'm so thankful to call you my friends!!!!!  I am truly blessed!!!

Okay, project #1:  Crocheted wristlets from Lionbrand (Pattern L10480).  I modified the pattern or they would have gone to my elbows.  Quick crochet!!!



Project #2:  Googie dishcloth

I found this pattern on Running Jack Knits blog by Wendy Poush.  It is blocking right now.  It's a boomerang shaped washcloth.  Made it this morning.  The shape intrigued me.

Enjoy your family, friends, and other blessings, now and tomorrow!!!

For Good hat

GerryArt gifted me this amazing hat pattern, and I got it done in 3 days!!!  There's a heartwarming story behind the hat, and I just had to make it.
I've had the heart buttons for quite a while, and this is the perfect project to put them on.

One more pair...

Finished these last night, and forgot to include them in the set of pictures.
they are crocheted, and I finished them in about 1 1/2 hours.  They're supposed to have little bells on the end of the cuff, but I don't think that would be good for baby.
Elfin Baby Booties:

 I used Christmassy yarn for them...may go to my great niece in Indiana.

More booties

I've been in the baby mode lately.  Right now, I don't have the patience to make large objects, hence the two shawls on needles in various states of being finished.

I also made a Hexagon Revisited Sweater, which will fit a 3-4 year old.  Buttons aren't sewn on yet; may change them for a more girlie sweater, given the yarn has sparklies in it.

 these pattens  are in my Ravelry library.

Oh yeah, I made a halloween grab bag, too!!

Other small FO's

I've been enjoying doing small projects...instant gratification, you know!!!

5 minute baby booties



Roll brim baby hat:



And my cute little owlet:


Another pair of hand warmers

A free pattern on Ravelry I've wanted to make for some time...finally did it!!!
Cherry Red handwarmers  was the pattern.  They are a tad snug on my hands, but would fit a petite hand just right!!!





The yarn is Adriafil KnitCol  color 052.  It was a partial skein (116 yards) and I still have some left over!!!

Do you like the hands?  Hubby was out picking up leaves, so I had to improvise!

Two at a time fingerless mitts

Finally, I actually did something two at a time, and finished it!!!!  Now perhaps I will finish the socks I started a couple of years ago.
Pattern on Ravelry  Garden Trellis Mitts   The yarn is Knitcol  100% Lana Merino.  It says superwash, but I think I'll use special care...Too bad I already had removed my foo foo nails before the picture.
