A trip to Joann's, and a need to buy just one ball of yarn, resulted in these colorful fingerless mitts.
A puppy bed! It is huge, but one of the kids usually ends up laying on it with the puppy.
It is made from a thrifted vintage sheet and 7 recycled bed pillows.
I sewed the 2' x 4' pillow ,and Myra cut open the flat bed pillows, fluffed up their inside, and stuffed the puppy pillow.
I then cut a big square from a faded Chenille blanket (a yard sale find for a dollar). I made the chenille into a fitted cover that can easily be thrown in the wash.

Lot's o' stuff! The shawl is lovely. The fingerless mitts look gorgeous! My mom used to do a lot of latch-hook-- and even created her own designs (she still has a number of her projects hanging on the walls at her house). I'm afraid I never could get into it, but seeing the kit makes me feel rather nostalgic. :)
