Gloves for gifts

I did a handmade challenge last year where the first 5 people to comment on the status got a gift. My sisters friend sarah who lives in Bloomington commented now I live in the UK and was going to struggle with this one. I then found out that my sister was flying out for her birthday so "lightbulb" happened and I got on with making her some fingerless gloves that ash could take with her. And here they are!

These are the gloves I was on about in my previous post. There at present only one but hey they should match when they are done! Also if they arent perfect I dont really care! It was my first attempt and my mother in law will love them regardless!

still alive!

Well I'm still here! I've been busy knitting for christmas! So far I've done a purple headband like my red one. I've also learnt how to do lace and use double pointed needles on which I have done one lace fingerless glove which I am doing the second but I got fairly p*ssed off at them so I am currently, knitting a cable cowl on circular needles. Another first! I made a cowl with elongated seed stitch in wool that cost me £17 quid! Very expensive but its hand dyed so unique.

I also got three diamonds tattooed on my arm today for my great nana, my nanna and my mam. 

Of course I will upload photos tomorrow as I'm on my phone!
