A Mystery

I break the blog silence for this: a knit mystery!

While enjoying a cottage weekend...

Featuring mist, rain, sun, and a few waves...

Pattern: Song of the Sea on Ravelry.

I came across a pair of...

A pair of I-have-no-idea-whats! These were hanging on the wall; decor in cottage adorned with a collection of eclectic objects gathered by a life of travel.

They almost look like mittens, but the main hand area is so big. And those flaps! They aren't just flaps, they're hollow, accessible by fingers...And while on one side there are two...

The other just has one!

The item on cover of this book has a similar shape, pompoms, and strange little flap, and it appears to be a bag. I thought that these were a bit too small to be a bag... and why a pair?

I thought these were cats, to match the dogs above, but they may just be paper dolls.

Curious. Our 'host' hadn't a clue, as the cottage belongs to her mother-in-law. Very curious.

Of course, further investigation into the patterns in the afore-mentioned book solved the mystery!
See: Exhibits A, B, and C.
Conclusion: It's a purse! A 'finger' purse (uña means fingernail in Spanish), and those little fingers are for small things like change, chapstick, and sunglasses. Oh the wonders of the internet.

Psst: Soon it will be fall, and with fall comes cool weather, and with cool weather comes more knitting! So. maybe, more frequent blogging.
