My Projects: Miss Sailorette

Sometimes an unexpected trim can make a project change personality. Or at least lend itself to a new name. While in progress, these were simply called Red Lace Fingerless Gloves. Now I introduce to you Miss Sailorette!

While trim shopping last week, I fell in love with these anchor buttons and thought they would be perfect for these gloves. These gloves are lightweight enough for spring and really add some life and color after a grey and cold winter.

This is also a great pattern to learn or practice lace stitching. You could almost replace that stitch with any other to create your own version!

What do you think? What other colors would you like?

My Projects: Red Lacy Fingerless Gloves

Currently on my needles are these really fun lacy openwork fingerless gloves! I've been focusing on doing lighter knits with some lace stitches. I started working on a lace shawl, my first in fact.  I don't have any photos of that project yet because I have had to frog it several times and start over. New stitches with a fine sock yarn can test your patience! 

So, I started knitting these gloves. They incorporate some of the same stitches as the lace shawl, but in a DK weight and larger needles. I am loving how they are turning out and they are a lot easier than I thought they would be! 

Right now, they look like mini sweaters!

My Projects: Crochet Winter Tweed Fingerless Gloves

I'm in love with these tweed yarns! I crocheted these fingerless gloves with bows, and contrast tipping. Perfect for cocktails at the cabin!
