Buttons & Gloves

This is possibly one of the last really nice Fall days we’ll have. In an attempt to make the most of my weekend without spending all of it indoors, I’ve completed two mini-projects. First – a set of Little Denim embroidered covered buttons. I started by reading the Purl Bee tutorial and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. All the supplies I used were picked up at my local favourite shop The Workroom. Here’s how they turned out:

Next, I finally finished off a pair of fingerless gloves for myself. I’ve been making these as gifts for friends and family for the last few years. They’re luxurious, being made from Alchemy Silk Purse yarn, and really quick to make. The pattern comes from (another Purl creation) the book Last Minute Knitted Gifts.

That’s all for now – get outside!
