The glove pattern is on its way. I have completed my first prototype and am now seeking people to test the pattern.


I am exceeding happy with the way that the gloves have turned out. I have made a medium and large sized glove myself. The finished pattern will be for the medium and the ability to size up or down the glove by using a differnt hook.


I'm going to have co-workers and friends test the pattern. I don't think they will have the same sense of urgency as my impatient self, so it may be a few weeks until the final pattern gets posted here. I will attempt to keep us all amused with other projects I am working on. I tend to be a bit of a space case and ADD, so there are a few to choose from.


Until next time!

Let's get it started

I'm not sure how well I'm going to be at keeping this up, but we'll see. I had the idea of creating a blog so I could have a place to talk about crochet/knitting and share any patterns I come up with.

I went to StevenBe on Thursday looking for some fun bright colors to work with. They had just gotten in a new shipment of Three Irish Girls yarn. I picked up a gorgeous skein of sock weight yarn that looks like an ice cream  social (yummy)
Three Irish Girls "Adorn Sock"

I was inspired to create a project myself, and I came up with a cute pair of biker gloves.

I've created many projects with my own design, but I've never tried recording them so that they could be recreated by someone else. I thought this would be a simple enough project to start with.

I'm still in the process of recording it at this point, but I will be taking pictures of my finished project and posting those soon.

Once I've completed the project, I'll find a couple of volunteers to test the pattern. When all goes well, I'll post it on here.
