I managed to finish the cream coloured fingerless gloves to give to my friend as a christmas gift - but forgot in my rush to take a final photo. I bought the pattern on line from Churchmouse yarns and used alpaca dk wool and as suggested added little shell buttons on the cuffs. I did add a little extra length to the cuffs just to make sure they would tuck under the sleeves of a jacket, as I hate it if there is a little gap.
Then I continued to finished the first pair - the ones I had started when I was trying to work out the pattern. This pair were to be a birthday present for another friend!
I have another knitting project to complete - the jumper that I started last year, but had to pull back and start again as I just didn't have enough yarn to finish the very last few rows. I would like to get this finished now before I start anything else.
Then I have a couple of exciting projects to start! I had two lovely yarny gifts from the girls for Christmas. The 'Cottage ripple blanket' pack by Lucy from Attic 24 - I can't wait to get started on this! but I think it will be a bit of a longer term project …...
….. and also something quite different for me - some lovely fluffy Sidar Snuggly yarn and a pattern to knit a teddy bear. I think this will test my concentration, but the idea is that it will be a gift for a new baby due around easter time to my nephew and his partner.
So I'd better get a move on!!
