Belated post...

I made some collages for people for Valentine's day.
This post has been sitting as a draft on my blog for weeks now, because things weren't uploading fast enough for my short attention span...

For my grandmother

For my grandfather



Oh yeah, and I did this drawing for my bf.

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

I have a slew of knitting projects sitting in my corner now, they include a:
hat
sweater
scarf
flower
fingerless gloves

What I came here to talk about today though is the fingerless gloves in particular.

I came across a pattern for fingerless gloves knit on straight needles! I wasn't even looking for a straight needle pattern, but since I have a plethora of straight needles (and not so much with the round/dpn ) I decided to take on the challenge. Also I have wanted to master gloves (and socks, someday!) to add to my knitting repertoire.
So far they're coming out pretty well, I am learning a few new things...such as short rows...among other things.
I am using this yarn I got as a gift a few years ago. It came from geekpixie.etsy.com though it seems as though they have nothing for sale now...and I got this yarn awhile ago...anywho,
here are some pictures of my progression:
