Taking Advantage of a Long Weekend

I took advantage of this long weekend and crafted away!

The one project I'm really excited about was these lovelies

They look like regular gloves, but they are actually...

GLITTENS!!!!!

They are a nice combination of fingerless gloves and mittens all in one!

All I need to do is add a button so I can keep the flaps down when needed!

You can find the pattern here on Ravelry 

I also finished up a hat for a friend

Made a cowl for a friend's daughter

Started an embroidery project

And finally I cleaned out our hallway -- it's an ackward hallway that leads to nothing and we have just used it to hide the junk we have! SO I have reclaimed it for my crafty storage!  Thanks to Ikea I now have a beautiful space for my yarn, fabric, sewing machine and more!!

What did you do this weekend??

Wrong yarn = cowl for the daughter!

One of my friends asked me to make them a hat they saw in the store. I found the pattern on revelry and was ready to get started. I even found yarn on sale for it!

Well I got started in the project only to discover I had bought the wrong yarn! Urg! I bought super bulky instead of just bulky. Seriously there is a difference for those who are questioning this.

I sat here for awhile messing around with the yarn and finally decided it would be perfect for a cowl and I knew just the little girl to enjoy it!

My daughter even showed me all the different ways to wear a cowl!

"It looks like a necklace mom!"

"Oh my mouth can be warm or I can be a Ninja!"

not sure what she was doing here but her ears are going to be warm!

So I'm glad I made a mistake in the purchase of my yarn! It turned into a super cute prize for my cutie daughter!
