A couple of days ago I went to a program at RCPL called "Knit and Crochet in Public" with The Woodland School. It was fun to the extreme to relax while knitting and crocheting with my yarn-savvy friends. I haven't been knitting or crocheting as much lately, but the program and my friends inspired me. Last night I was playing around with yarn, simply practicing different stitches and trying to come up with a new interesting technique, when I had an idea for lacy fingerless gloves. It took me a little while to come up with a pattern that was satisfactory and fit, but after trying several things, unraveling, and trying again, I had designed and finished one glove. Earlier today I started deciphering the pattern that I had somehow failed to write down for future reference. It didn't take long, and using the first glove as a guideline, (I could recognize most of the stitches,) I made a pretty accurate duplicate. I have always liked designing things, especially clothing, so these gloves were an awesome project and I enjoyed making them thoroughly.
