Since my mom is a Luddite I can show you the first two bits of her birthday present. The towel is knit and the dishcloth is crochet
It’s sort of odd. My birthday, my mom’s birthday, and ChaosGirl’s birthday are all in February. Odd, but works well for buying amethyst jewelry.
I also finished my crocheted fingerless mitts
and a pair for ChaosGirl. Totally easy once I figured out the changes I need to make to account for the difference between the fingering weight yarn called for in the pattern and the worsted weight I used. I may make another set in fingering as these are a bit bulky for computer use – which is why I made them in the first place.
