NaBloPoMo Day 20: Vintage Buttons, a follow up to day 19

[untonuggan]

I couldn't take FO photos yesterday night because it was dark and I wanted natural light. But here are what I've finished so far for my friend! I am now working on a cowl with yarn leftover from the gloves. It will have a button closure. The running theme is "vintage buttons."


Hat and fingerless mitts, both purple, each embellished with vintage buttons (the hat on the brim, one button; the mitts on the cuffs, two buttons per mitt)




A chunky purple hat with garter stitch as the brim and a garter stitch "tab" closed by a blue vintage button


Plum (dark purple) fingerless mitts with a simple design, with two vintage buttons on each cuff.

I hope she likes them!

Ahhhh those handwarmers look SO great! The hat does, too. But I love being able to warm up my hands while having finger freedom.

[untonuggan]

^__^ I love them, too. I have two pairs of handwarmers myself and yet it doesn't seem enough somehow...

:) I have tried to learn a few times, but only with my mom's help, which adds a level of frustration to things. I might try again in a class or from a friend or from youtube videos or something.
