Spring Craftiness

Rubber boots are out, spring coats sharing the rack with the winter coats and fingerless gloves added to the basket. The gloves are new. I am loving the ease of the pattern and the possibilities that come with their practicality. Taking photos, yard work, knitting on the porch on cool yet sunny days, morning walks for the mail- they are the perfect glove.














I followed the pdf kindly shared by Foothill Companion for fingerless gloves made from felted sweaters. For a learning knitter like myself, these give a similar feel with far less the work!

There are so many amazing crafters in blog world, mamas who are extremely talented. As spring rejuvenates and inspires my list of projects gets longer. Many of these on my list are tutorials kindly shared - yeah for sharing. I thought I would share a few I have found.
