First, I made some Fingerless Gloves for Kimmy. She is my friend whose house flooded. She, her husband, her 2 year old son, her cat, and 3 dogs stayed with us for about 3 weeks. She saw some gloves that our friend Andrea had that were similar, so she asked me to make her a pair.
I ran out of yarn in the middle (FYI, it's Bernat Cashmere Blends), so when I got some more I picked up an extra skein just in case. I used it to make her a Halley's Comet Hat to go along with it. The picture below is not Kimmy, but my mom who tried it on so I could post it on Ravelry.
I also made another pair of Fingerless Gloves in a different pattern for my bestest friend Kari. I made these with Bernat Alpaca Blend in a similar pink color. I may have just enough hat to make her a hat too.
On January 1st, I decided to start a new pair of socks, so I decided to make some Firestarters. I finished them pretty quickly, but they would have gone faster if I didn't get a bit of SSS. It's inevitable I guess.
In November, Kari's mom asked me to make some fingerless gloves for her to go along with her clown costume. I've been putting off finishing the 2nd one because they have very short fingers and the fingers are complicated. I finally finished those on Friday night at 1:30 AM. I'm glad to have that monkey off my back. Kari is going to visit her mom on Saturday so I needed to have them done before she left.
Right now, I just started on another hat for another friend, Nicole. I'm designing it myself and it's going to be called "Pucker Up Nicole". Hopefully it will turn out OK. I'm also working on some Pomatomous socks for myself, and random dishcloths whenever I feel bored.
