***Gloves....Glorious Gloves***

My sister can always come up with the most clever and artistic craft ideas. She bought inexpensive knit gloves and crocheted on the top of each one, using a yarn with lots of fringe and tassels! She worked single crochet stitches on the right side and added a chain stitch at the end of each row.

Then she turned the 'cuff' down and VOILA!
A beautiful custom made, one of a kind, winter glove!

Very nice, Delores! Thank you!

Before there was.....

there was "knitting for monkeys"........ I got my knitting out today to make a dish cloth and pulled out my trusty "How To" book! I've had this since I was a teenager and it's what I have used to teach myself to knit AND crochet! heehee! When I haven't knitted in awhile, I still need a refresher! (And thanks Jeannie for the tutorial over the phone this afternoon!) I only know the basic stitches but my cloth came out nice! lol I got the pattern here......
"knit nutt" blog!






It really was easy!
Even for ME!!!

I'll veer off the apron theme today and show another person's talent! SOCKS!
My sweet daughter in law makes socks......lots and lots of socks! And these are my favorites! I bought new shoes and so far these are the only socks that feel comfortable with them......
and that look cute! I love them!
