2 New Projects

Both of my latest projects are found in Weekend Knitting by Melanie Falick.  I'm working on a pair of gloves to match my winter coat. The pattern will make a pair for a women's medium size.  Well, my hands are pretty small.  So, I had to make some adjustments.  Instead of size 5 needles, I dropped to size 3.  I started the gloves and they were still too big.  So I ripped it out and reduced the number of stitches.   I think I did quite well for it to be the first time I made adjustments for a pair of gloves.




These cute accessory bags were made with black wool and felted.  For an added touch, I taught myself to crochet flowers today.  It was super fun. If you ever need a tutorial, YouTube will usually have one.
