Crochet Fingerless Gloves!

 I've crocheted a fingerless glove. Actually, it kind of just created itself. I started crocheting some left over Madelaine Tosh and it somehow metamorphised into this. Sorry about the sausage fingers! My rheumatoid has deformed them slightly (joints in middle of fingers do not bend at all) and the meds make them puffy! However, I can wear these when I knit and keep my wrists nice and snuggly! I even drew up a pattern! Today I will finish the other glove!

I also finished these butterfly pattern fingerless gloves a while ago for one of my gorgeous daughters. The pattern from Tiny Owl Knits has little butterflies sewn into the palms, which I am yet to do!

I am loving the Winter garden! Rose hips are all changing colours to a gorgeous red!

Hope you are warm where ever you may be!

Shhhh! Secret Birthday Knitting.

 I am secretly knitting these gorgeous butterfly fingerless gloves by Stephanie Dosen, a fabulous designer on Ravelry.  This pattern is in Yarn Forward mag, Spring 2011 issue. It also has an article on this wonderful designer. I'm knitting them for one of my daughter's birthday at the end of the month, so I'd better get cracking! I'm knitting the gloves in creme wool and making the butterflies in a soft angora blue.

 Check out my handy-work! I've made a kind of trellis for my sweet peas to grow up using branches from a silver birch and tortured willow trees. I used string to create a little climbing frame for them. I think it will look great when the sweet peas are in bloom!

Have a fabulous weekend!
