Gloves for a Rabbit

These lovely gloves were recently shipped to a wonderful rabbit friend. (Note the nifty band!)

Pretty In Pink

And these lovely pair of gloves were whipped up as a birthday present for the little girl of an old friend. Not shown is the beading detail I added after the fact.

I am also making a second pair (not the same) of gloves for the birthday girl’s sister as when she found out from her father what I was up to expressed sadness that she was not going to get a pair. I remember well the younger years of having a sibling…

On the hook as well is another design -this time I am working on a pair of wristers that can also be worn as gloves. At the moment they come across as rather steamy to me. (steam punk) but that might be due to the color I am working with. It’s a nice dark red.

That’s it for now.

The KM Adventure Continues

Alright mates. As I said before, there have been some noises regarding the Knitting Machine. I decided I needed to become more proficient with the machine and the basic fabric that it makes. (And I also wanted to see if I could use a yarn that didn’t come with the machine.

So out came the leftovers of  some Cascade 220 as well as the KM….this was the result:

Anarchy In Pink and Purple

Knitted Anarchy Wristers with crochet detailing at either end, because lets face it, the Cap’t has to have a hook in there somewhere. The fabric is the most even fabric I have managed to date on the machine. Which made me happy. I also particularly like the way they contrast each other.  I liked these so much that I am fiddling with the pattern a little (how many needles and rows) and writing it up for anyone else that would like to make a pair.
