I found a pattern for World War I Red Cross Balaclavas and he chose this one:
He requested it in black. It came out very nicely, and he's already gotten some good use out of it.
Next, I'm working on some fingerless lace gloves for my mom. She works at her church, and her hands get awfully cold, but she can't type with regular gloves on. Here's the pattern I found: Lace Fingerless Office Gloves. So far they're coming out looking nice, but they seem very tiny. We'll see when I have one glove finished. I'd hate to have to start over...
What's the "hungry" part of my post, you ask? Well, I can't help but think "baklava" when I hear "balaclava" so it makes ME hungry, anyway! Anyone know what "balaclava" means? Wish I knew how to make a baklava as easily as I made the balaclava...
So, what are you working on? Christmas/holiday gifts? Can you talk about them, or are they a secret? ;-)
