Mama’s Potholders
Speaking of potholders, I also made these ones, which I gave to my mom:
Here they are up close:
And look! You can hang them up!
Brown Handwarmers w/ Flower
Here are some handwarmers I made just the other day out of some cotton yarn my mom had lying around:
This is the flower up close:
And here’s what they look like on.
There are, as always, more pictures on Flickr, and these handwarmers are also for sale on Etsy!
Jil’s Elf Hat
My sister is turning 19 on Monday, so I wanted to make her something. Her request was a “funky” hat — “You make a lot of hats,” she said, “but they’re all plain.” So here was my attempt at funkiness.
It was difficult to keep the shape even while I was making this little pattern, and also the fact that all the yarns were different types and weights didn’t help so much. I think it looks ok though!
Here are the ear-flaps — a key part of the request.
And now I am the elf!
Else’s Wallet-Pouch

Wristwarmers
I made these guys a long time ago, to keep out the cold in the New York City winter — it was my first, you see. If you keep the veins warm, the blood stays warm too, and therefore the whole body.
Here I am, summer in San Francisco, all nice and warm.
