I wasn’t kidding when I said I was going to make a few Gathered Clutches, Felted Duffers, and World’s Best Potholders for Christmas gifts.  Many a female in the family got something like what you see below.   The Duffers (slippers) are great because you can make them a rough size and then the recipient can always wash them to snug them up to their size.  I had fun using vintage buttons I had on hand…who knows, those could be real diamonds!  🙂    (Tomorrow I will show you some special hand knits I made for Tony, and the things I made Elias!)
