My Girls and Their New Fingerless Mitts

Here they all are in all their glory! I love making things for my girls - especially when they like them!

SONI'S MITTS

Got Sonja's mitts done last week. There has been no crocheting around here since the campaign started. *sigh*

FINGERLESS MITTS FOR BRYNI

Ani's and Sonja's are next. Ani's will be orange with red trim and Sonja's will be green with cream trim. Wish I could start now, but this takes precedence:

ANOTHER PEEK AT MY VALENTINE GARLAND
