Green gloves for mum - WIP Wednesday

Just a quick show of my new project today...yes another but I've finished my purple socks so I'm allowed something new on the needles.

The beginnings of my mum's birthday presents, a pair of gloves to match the Ishbel I knit for her birthday

A hastily taken photo from my camera phone as I forgot to charge the batteries for my proper camera, I really must do that so I can take some pictures of my newly finished socks. The gloves are from a pattern in one of my knitting magazines which my mum picked out. The tips of the finger and thumb of one hand are open to allow the wearer to turn pages in a book or use an MP3 player/touch screen device. I am going to attempt to make little flip tops though for when she's just wearing them as regular gloves, we'll see how that goes.

I am racing along on the feet for my husband's socks hoping to be finished for Valentines day but I don't have a picture. I really need to remember to take pictures of everything at the weekend when I have daylight. Fortunately the days do seem to be getting longer so hopefully it wont be long until I can take photos before or after work, roll on spring!

  3. That yarn looks really squishy! You know, for a photo taken on a mobile, that's really not bad! I'm looking forward to photo-taking daylight as well.
