The Birthday Knits

This Saturday is my mom's birthday.  I've been knitting like a mad woman (more mad than usual). On many occasions my mother has said she likes this or she likes that.  It was tricky to decide what all I could do for the birthday. 

Here is the short list:

• Hooded scarf
• Necklace
• Slippers
• Sassy Scarflette
• Mousy

So the hooded scarf is done and I think it turned out pretty good since I adapted a crochet pattern for knitting:

The necklace is nice and she picked out the beads for it.  Also I made a matching bracelet:

The slippers are crocheted, an adaptation of a Mon Petit Violon pattern:

The second edition of the Sassy Scarflette in gray tones:

I received the yarn for the mousey...it came in time.  Now to get it knitted in time...

Also, my mom's best friend has a birthday on Sunday so I want to make her some things as well.  I'm still thinking about her list.  One of the things I thought might be great is the strawberry bookmark I saw on Dona Knits web site from ravelry.

Should I give her the sassy scarflette I made last week or something else....hmmmm. Another necklace...?

On another note, it seems our little kitty (who is now enormous) is really not a girl.  So I'm calling him Mr. Kitty, not a very original name but I am at a loss...he's "Sassy" to me.
