My Projects: Works In Progress

I started several projects while I was on vacation. Here's an update on what I've been working on!

Another friend is having a baby so I started a little green u-cord hat. I love these and they are so easy to make. You may remember ones I have made before. I'm calling this one Pea Pod. 

More crocheted fingerless gloves with bows are in the works for my Etsy shop; The Sparkling Cocktail! 

I love red so I am really excited for these soft Merino wool solid ones in the works. 

And you already know my obsession for tweed! This combination I am really excited about as I am using three different tweed shades of gray to create an ombre effect! Yay! 

Don't worry, I haven't given up on my Yellow Fat Bottom Bag that I started this past Summer. I have just gotten so excited for Autumn. I will finish it soon and share! 

What are you currently working on? Did you finish all of your Summer projects? Do knit for the season you are in or for the one ahead?

My Projects: Heather Tweed Gloves

Fall is on it's way and soon there will be a chill in the air.  I've been crocheting up several new pairs of tweed fingerless gloves with bows to get ready for it.   Here's a look at some new items I've finished and have listed in my Etsy store; The Sparkling Cocktail.  Click the photo to go to the individual listing. 

All are made from wool tweed in heather colors. I'm still really into tweed this season. What are your go to fall yarns or fabrics for fall? 

My View: Cocktails at the Cabin

I've decided to add some of my handmade knit and crochet items to my Etsy shop; The Sparkling Cocktail. The store section is aptly named; Cocktails at the Cabin. We all need to look cute while we stay cozy! So far, I've got 4 pairs of fingerless crochet gloves with bows up for grabs!  

Super soft Ivory with black tipping and bow! 

Ivory with the prettiest red Donegal tweed! 

I debuted these awhile ago- That same Red Donegal tweed with Black and Snowshoe tweed! 

And one of the first pairs I made- Flagstone tweed with Snowshoe tweed bow and button! 

I adore this pattern and the subtle herringbone stitch. Some of you may have been following my evolution on this in My Projects series. Other colors in the works are the prettiest ballet pink with black and ivory with solid red trim. What other color combinations would you like? What other styles would you like to stay warm and chic this Winter?
