Oh yes- the rain has definately set in, the skies are bleak and the garden is beginning to look like a war zone. Only one thing for it really- get creative and take my mind off it!!
I fancied a change from bags and wallets, and having not done much knitting this year I decided it was time to pull the needles out again... well, we all need gloves, especially now the temps are dropping faster than a lead balloon.
So here are my latest creations... these are adult size, one pair with mitten flaps, one pair without. As I finished my second pair my son asked for a pair so I had to downsize the pattern... as soon as I can get a pic of them I'll post it- he's run off to school with them already!
I've added a pattern in the how-to-patterns section. Have a go- it's a great way of using up all your oddments of DK wool, you could get some really funky gloves going on!!
Here they are at last- a pic of my son's gloves...
Don't they look funky!! Honestly, they're really easy- give them a go! xx

Is there anything in this world that you can't do? I LOVE these! Never knitted mittens before, I will have to try. I'm repeating constantly, but everything you do makes me want to try it my self. xo!
ReplyDeleteThen my purpose is fulfilled!!
ReplyDeleteI am living proof that you can do anything you want- I do! Some things I have been able to do from childhood- knit, crochet, draw... but other things have been tried/learnt along the way. I still cannot get my head round scrapbooking- I think that is one area I shan't be expanding, but I find learning a new technique in one area often leads to a development in another... I'm looking at getting my art/photos into textiles now, there seems to be a few ways I can do that and I like the idea. New and old...give them a go- see if you can work the pattern, if it's confusing let me know and I'll amend/rewrite. Have fun!! xx
oh- and I can't weave!!! lol
ReplyDeletelol! Maybe you could start with a small handmade loom, and make woven bits for fabric collages? :) Or even better, let me make those things for you!
