Fun and fast as the links are addictive to knit.





Found last week while thrifting.





The pattern is on whipup.net; Dec. 6/07. I would add short rows to the wrist portion to make them looser.

From a neighbourhood yard sale a few years ago. Sarah (took one of my lunch hour knitting classes) only wanted 25¢ for Grommet, so I gave her a couple of my finger puppets.

Found at various times. Donald Duck was a Value Village find.








Searching for more vases to photograph, I notice I'm missing two.
