Saturday Sampler: Mother's Day Gift Knits
(I enjoy doing these sampler posts, but the trouble is, they require the kind of aimless Internet wandering I have much less time for these days. Still, I will try to post them more frequently!)
So, Mother's Day is, astonishingly, 2 weeks away.
I know!
Stumped for gift ideas? Here are a few items you can finish in time!
With or without beads, Arroyo will be a hit--and it's free!
Alana Dakos' Cedar Leaf Shawlette is another great spring piece that's quick to knit in DK weight.
And this is the one I'm going to attempt--from the Gloss Collection (featuring my Penny Vest), this sweet little Captivating Capelet should work up quickly in DK (and sans beads).
Anne Hanson's Fallberry Mitts will fend off a spring chill, despite the name. Another free pattern!
And you can't go wrong with Susie's Reading Mitts.
Maybe it's still hat weather where you are? Try Jared Flood's Porom--airy enough for spring, but works up quickly in DK weight.
