The Fingerless Glove Mania Continues
One Christmas glove nearly complete:
This is the Lace-Up Fingerless Glove pattern from Leigh Radford's book "Alterknits." I had to modify the pattern to use fingering weight yarn, as the original called for worsted.
This is knit in Bugga! cashmere blend from The Sanguine Gryphon (in Arge Moth). It's a Christmas gift for one of my "Fairy Goddaughters." Her brother is my godson. When he and his two sisters were little, I was living in England and used to send them exotic toys and gifts that I picked up in my travels and countless castle tours. These were such a hit that they started calling me their Fairy Godmother.
I don't have exactly the right color ribbon for these, but I think that the Rusty Bucket color looks nice. I also have a purple one, so I think that I will send a pair of purple ribbons along as well, in case she likes that better.
Carla, you have led an interesting life and you still travel around. i have a daughter similar and gets itchy feet and before you know it, she is moving to another apartment. i like the colors you chose and i will buy that book...i didn't know if it was worth it, but if you have it then Amazon here i come..hope they have it. again, Happy Thanksgiving jo

Ravelry has a cool feature where you can view all of the patterns in a book, and from there you can see everything that people have made from those patterns. Here is a link to the page for the Alterknits book.
