My scarlet crochet gloves were featured on the Etsy blog yesterday ^_^ I was told this by a lovely buyer who had found my store through the article- yay!
They were in this Travelogue article under the Melbourne section. There are a lot of other lovely items in this list too!
This is very exciting because thousands of people read the Storque so it means a lot of people visit your shop who wouldn't normally find it. Was a lovely surprise as I hadn't had any etsy features until now.

Despite it being hot summer here I am still obsessed with arm warmers. After needing them so much last year in my freezing house, I like the idea other people making and enjoy them too.
I finished these two pairs of fingerless gloves for sale in my Etsy shop, made from my Imladris pattern.
I also keep trying new things. This week I've had my first go at cable knitting (on an oversized circular needle) to create these plaited gloves:
They have been pretty fun to create using the magic loop technique, and i'm keeping note of the pattern as I go. I think I'd want to add a thumb and move the cable further to the centre of the hand, perhaps using slightly larger needles. What do you think?
Lovely Finds
I love these Cable gloves by homelab, they're wonderfully thick and texture-full :) I haven't seen this particular cable pattern before either.

My latest pattern:
Imladris, or Rivendell, the Last Homely House east of the sea.
Imladris, or Rivendell, the Last Homely House east of the sea.This crochet pattern is reminiscent of the architecture of Elrond’s house and gardens, with a twisting cable of front-post-treble-crochet in between two vertical lines of front-post-double-crochet, worked on a backing of half-double-crochet (hdc).
If you are unfamiliar with these stitches they are easy to learn, and the 12 page pattern provides many diagrams and photos to help you on your way.
Pattern is designed for small-medium woman’s hands, but contains instructions on how to easily enlarge if needed. Worked with a 3mm crochet hook (or 3.25 if you are a super tight crocheter)
(Available for $2US from my Etsy shop, as a Ravelry download, or through paypal (no accounts required))

I was intrigued by the idea of trying some cable crochet over the holidays, these are what I have been working on:
Cable crochet fingerless gloves! I adapted the pattern from this starter scarf pattern which took me a little while to understand. I hope to write up the pattern for these cable gloves in the next few days.
Yesterday I also worked on this David Tennant plushie in a brown suit. He turned out quite nicely I think :)
And before Christmas this little guy arrived in the snow!
Thanks so much to loppypop for sending in the photo! He would have never found snow here in Australia :)
