Finally, a new post! Things have been so busy lately! I moved into a new apartment and work has really picked up. I guess maybe I should elaborate a little about what I do for a living, since it directly relates to one of the projects I’m posting.



I monitor an endangered shorebird, the piping plover (Charadrius melodus). I spend my days walking along sandy beaches, tracking the birds, monitoring their nesting areas and educating beach-users about the birds and how they can help protect them. I love it!

It’s really tiny, but maybe you can spot the plover in this photo?

Anyway, I had been wearing my owly crocheted fingerless gloves to work, but then decided a piping plover pair might be more fitting! I used the same fingerless glove pattern as the owl gloves, but added some different details! Once everything slows down I plan on writing out the pattern so you can make your own pair!

I also made this cute little pin cushion donut because I kept stepping on loose pins. The pattern can be found here.
