I tested the pattern Snippet<\/a> for Hunter Hammersen<\/a>. These wrist-warmers are fun and pretty and quirky so they made me think of a friend\/coworker and her possible Christmas gift. I used soft yellow baby yarn and was really pleased with how they turned out. This was a quick fun knit; I will be making more at some point. Thinking pink and purple for some special little girls in my circle.

So, at Lisa’s suggestion, I started the chicken button hunt. I was able to find ones I liked. So, I sewed this chicken right into the ruffle. Somehow, one chicken seemed more fun and quirky while a chicken on each hand seemed way too far. I cannot explain my logic, but there it is.
