Victorian/ Steampunk fingerless gloves

My latest Swapbot swap is called "Show off your craft".  I got a gal that's into Steampunk.  I've had this pattern in my list of things to do for a while so I was excited to try it out.  I think it turned out really well.
I posted it on facebook when I finished the first glove and now a friend wants me to make her a pair in purple.

I had plenty of the gray yarn leftover so I tried knitting a beret to go with it.  Epic fail!  So I added a flower to the brim and now it's a cloche.  Cute but drab in gray.  Oh well.

Market Bag

Here's my first market bag.  The pattern is called "Bag, You're It" from Ravelry.com
I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.  It was fun and pretty easy to knit and I love market bags but this one seems a bit small.  I was barely able to fit the 2-2 Liter sodas in it. 
Maybe it'll stretch.
