As you know, I'm taking the girls to visit my family and now we have to add the move on to that--I've got stress people! So that brings me to another piece of news; this will be my last post for a month or so. Do try not to miss me too much, and know that I'll be back before too long. But before I go, here is my latest crafty project.
Dad's Gloves
I made these for my Dad for Father's Day, and of course he will get them belatedly (not to mention in summer), but he won't mind. I made them to match the hat I made him earlier this year, and I'm really pleased with how they turned out. My first fingerless gloves, and good fun! I used a pattern I got in this book, which I checked out of my local library. I LOVE my library, especially the mobile one that comes to the bottom of my street each week. In all honesty, I have three gloves, as the first one I made fit me perfectly, and therefore wasn't any good for a man's hand. On the upside, I only have to make one more and I'll have a pair for myself, and they will match the cable hat I made myself. Almost like I planned it!
Happy crafting everyone, and a fond farewell for a wee while. Keep those needles clicking!
Good luck to you! Please post some pictures of the lovely highlands when you get all settled in!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for you and your family. Good luck on your move. Love the gloves. I just finished a pair for a friend and think I need to make me a pair too! How fortuitous that your first glove didn't "work out"!
ReplyDeleteThe fingerless gloves look awesome. I have a pair I've had for years and they've been repaired I think for the last time, wish I could say I made them...didn't, bought them. Yours look awesome, I find them to be very useful
ReplyDeleteGood luck and congrats on selling your house..
ReplyDeleteThe gloves are very cool!
Here's wishing you a safe and easy move. Remember that whatever rarely-used toys and games you pack first will somehow become the ones your children want to play with the most! :)
