Long Cowl or Short Scarf


Here it is being blocked on my baby-sized ironing board, next to one of the fingerless gloves from my previous post!

It's made from the most gorgeous wool, its called Chantilly by Moda Vera, and its all soft and fluffy and cute! It does split really easily so its a little more effort to keep it all neat and tidy, but using a 8.00 crochet hook its pretty easy keep it all straight.


Close ups!

Fingerless Gloves

I'm half way through making these fingerless gloves for my sister, and they're really cute and I think I'm going to have to make myself a pair!

Here's my progress.

I'm half way through the second glove, hopefully finished today!

Alice Inspired Mitts

Sadly the really cute pattern is marred by the fact that its based on something Alice wore in Twilight/New Moon/whatever, but if I don't pay attention to that, then all is right with the world. :)
