I saw this idea (a bag with ruches) in a magazine and thought my youngest girl might like it. She does.

Signs of spring
Yes, it’s still early, but these are actually rather late. The funny thing is, we never planted these. They’re remains of the previous owner’s love of bulbs. But I don’t mind at all 😉
A bag for my other girl
Yes, they are twins. No, they don’t like the same things at all. I love that, since we’ve always tried to raise them as individuals. E. wanted something simple and something purple. She can use it two ways, but I’m pretty sure she prefers the first option.

A little runner
I loved that poinsettia pattern so much that I knit two more. And I added a few stripes to join them. I was going to back it up and make it into a little runner for the table, but I ran out of time. Maybe next year…

Scarfs, scarfs, scarfs
