The Gauntlets
Since my sewing machine seized up on me (with only 2 hours of work left to do on a dress) and I haven't had a chance to bring it in to get repaired yet, I've been doing other things. And one of those things is knitting. It's been years since I'd knit, but after spending time at cricket Cove with my mom the other week, and seeing how well my friends are doing with theri knitting projects, I felt inspired and figured I'd give it a try again.
I'm quite fond of the recycled sari silk, so I picked up a skein of that, some new bamboo needles, and a pattern for a simple set of gauntlets. Thanks to mom, I learned how to knit continental style, so I didn't have to worry about tension. They knit up pretty quickly and I'm pleased with how they turned out. Of course, I had to personalize them a bit - and I added some ribbon around the fingers and a few buttons along the arm...
