Yarn pr0n + help pls?

General Knitting
1

I recently went on a trip and of course I bought yarn :teehee: I got two balls of Rowans kidsilk haze in two diffrent colours and a ball worsted weigth green wool.

So I wondered if any of you lovely people had any ideas what to make with my new purdy yarns. I was thinking about making fingreless gloves maybe with the kidsilk but I can’t seem to find a good pattern.

That is some lovely stuffs.

:shrug: I don’t know what to make of it… but I’d pet it some and ask it what it wants to be.

Here are a couple of ideas for Fetching.

Those yarns are beautiful. Good luck finding something you want to use them for.

The Branching Out scarf would be a good thing to make with the pink silk. The pattern has a picture of a completed scarf using a different brand of pink silk.

Loely yarn!

But, I do have a questions… Could someone explain to me the POINT of fingerless gloves??? Am I missing something (I’m old and out of date :oops: ). WHY would you want gloves without fingers???

I love them. you don’t have the slippiness of gloves on your fingers- my hands stay warm but I can still put the car key in the ignition. (or take pictures of the kids in the snow, find things in my purse, give the coffee shop the right change: all without stopping to take the gloves off, drop one, lose the other or stop to put them back on.) When it isn’t winter, and my bones ache, I use them when typing or knitting to give the wrists some warmth without losing dexterity.

and fingers are a pain to knit…

and these are a fashion statement.

just my little reasons why…

Ahhhhh, I see…sort of. I just figured if it was cold enough for gloves; I WANT FINGERS TOO :??

8

They look cool!! I mean, if Sanjaya will wear them when competing to be the American Idol, how can they NOT be cool???

:teehee:

:roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:

I guess I’m too old to be “cool” :shrug:

Cool is a state of mind not dependent on a number.

Hence my Shakira “Hips Don’t Lie” ringtone. Gets the laughs every time (especially when it goes off in a class at my school). :teehee:

Now to be wearing fingerless gloves and shaking my thing when the ringtone goes off. Ahhhh, sublime happiness if dd was around to see. :roflhard:

11

Well I’m not old, and I agree about the cool factor, I love the look of fingerless gloves, but I’ve never made any, cause I always figured it wasn’t my palms that would get frostbite and fall off, it would be my poor little freezing fingies :shrug:

I use my fingerless gloves when I’m on the computer and my hands get cold…means I can still type ok :wink:
