West Wind Gloves

August 6, 2008 in accessories, gloves, knitting, patterns by Sarah

Here are my newest gloves in an almost completed state:

When I submitted Gloves Can Be Deceiving to Knitty Amy asked me for pictures of the gloves in the process of being sewn up, but I didn’t have any (I didn’t have a digital camera, so I didn’t document every aspect of my life as obsessively as I do now), so I didn’t want to let the opportunity to pass this time.

I am very happy with them.

I spent my day off this Monday (happy Saskatchewan day to one and all) writing the pattern out, so I hope to make it available in a couple weeks. I have the seamed version now and I plan to do another version knit in the round.

They really do help you channel your inner princess, and I anticipate being very grateful when they meet my three-quarter length sleeves in the middle.

  • Fried rice pick me up
    I used to live in China, and there are some things that I still miss, some things I don’t.  One thing that I became very tired of in China, but now miss is fried rice. I went to China without learning any Chinese at all, and I had to rely on others for many things,  including [...] […]
  • Granola
    Granola is one of the things I really like to make.  I made some recently and this particular version is so lovely that I thought I would share: Recipe: 4 1/2 cups rolled oats 1/4 cup oat bran 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1/4 cup hulled sesame seeds 1/2 cup sliced almonds 1/2 cup pecan halves 1/3 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup dried currants 1/4 cup [...] […]
  • Lemon buttermilk cookies
    One of the most inspiring examples of food writing I have experienced is A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table by Molly Wizenberg — and I have since started reading her blog Orangette.  I made these buttermilk cookies with lemon zest cookies from her index of recipes today: They are wholly satisfying — [...] […]
  • Cranberry jam
    I made this cranberry jam recently: It is quite lovely, and simple to make.  I got the recipe from Nigella Lawson’s How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking, and as she says it really is very easy. I think I may make some next year and give it away for Christmas [...] […]
  • Pistachio cookies (recipe coming)
    I made these pistachio cookies a few days ago: My boyfriend says they are like me — not too sweet and a little nutty. Next time I will put them on parchment paper to make sure they don’t get to dark, and make a few more tweaks.  I plan to make them a few more times to [...] […]
