gLoved Part Deux

I've been a little absent from this space but it's not for a lack of productivity.  It's just that when you're 40, you start taking on more complex projects and the finishes are fewer and farther between! All I've completed this month is this pair of fingerless gloves for a dear friend going through a rough time.  Because when you can't say it with words, you can always say it with needles:

The pattern was free and not too hard, although it involved dk weight yarn (read: dental floss) and size 3 needles (toothpicks).  No sign of arthritis yet.

And then, because Karma works like this, my friend Kelli from a couple posts ago dropped off these lovelies, knit by her mother:

Have you ever seen anything so cute? They are toasty and beautiful and we gLove them.  So thanks Ms. Barbara!
