Fingerless gloves. I am teaching a friend how to crochet and I find that when I teach someone a crochet pattern it is best if I just crochet along with them. So this is the first project we made. These are the ones I made. My friend did a great job on hers also. I'm very proud of how quickly she has caught on. Our current project is a soft hat. Both of us have gotten frustrated with the type of yarn we are using, but I think she will be happy with her finished project.
I made this scarf for me! The first time I think I have ever made myself something to wear. I actually thought that it was the same color as the fingerless gloves. Imagine my surprise when I put them next to each other and the gloves are a gold color and the scarf is a tan color...huh??? Oh well, I'm sure I can find someone who would like some fingerless gloves. Their arms need to be a bit skinny though as I think they are a bit tight on me.
I'm having some friends over for lunch on Thursday and I wanted to send a little somethin somethin home with them. I found a pattern for a bookmark that I was then able to embroider their names onto. I added the tassel to the bookmark since the pattern didn't have one and I like tassels. I think I might make my Bible study women each one with their name on it. I might try to find another alphabet to cross-stitch into it though, this one is a bit plain. The problem is they are small and so I need an alphabet that uses just a few squares per letter. I'm sure there is one out there. I don't know if I like the yellow name for Leslie's. The yellow around the edges makes the bookmark "pop" but the name is a bit hard to read. But I'm not taking it out so hope she likes it ;)
