This year I've tried to knit as many birthday gifts as I can. I like the challenge of finding something that I think the recipient will like.
While I was visiting my sister,
Kylee and David celebrated their birthdays.

For
Kylee I knitted a necklace and a doll necklace from a
"Bag Smith" Dazzling Dangles kit. It was the first time I've incorporated beads in my knitting and it was much simpler then I thought it would be. The necklaces came together pretty quickly.

There was enough yarn to make Charlotte a matching set.

I knitted my brother-in-law a truck washcloth. Katie told me that the kid's
Easter washcloths I made them were too small for David's hands so I was sure to make this one big enough. I used
this pattern . I used a size 8 needle instead of 6 to make sure it turned out larger and I added a few stitches to each side to make the cloth wider. I think he got a kick out of the trucks.
