These are so fun for cheering on your team if (a) it's outside and cold, (b) inside and cold, or (c) you just like to wear pompoms (I personally choose this one haha). I made easy pompoms in my niece's school colors by winding yarn around something stiff that is the size of the pompom you want (I used a credit card), carefully pull the yarn off the card and wrap a long piece of yarn around the middle holding the loops closed - leave a long tail to attach the pompoms to the gloves; then snip the loops so they open up into a pompom. You can easily find more info online if you need it to make yarn pompoms, I didn't take pictures so can't give more description - sorry. The more times you wind the yarn around the card the fuller your pompom will be. Trim the pompom into a symmetrical ball, then using the long tail from tying off the middle, sew the pompoms onto the tip of each finger of knit gloves. I didn't make one for the thumbs, not sure why - do however many you want!
Happy moment ~ listening to Lucy (the parrot) mutter something under her breath and then laugh at herself, like she told herself a funny joke.
