Some of you may remember my bit of yarn bombing that I did a few months back...... well, when i just put it up and it was still looking great, it looked like this:


However, now the colours have almost completely bleeched out, and I would've gotten a picture, but it's raining (yay for rain!!)

So anyway, my mum asked me the dreaded question - "Do you think it's time to take it down? It's supposed to be adding to the environment after all, not detracting from it."

JEEZ, thanks!! But I get her point. It looks disgraceful now, and it does seem like a pathetic attempt. However, it was my first go, and I had never ever considered that it might be me that cuts it off eventually... it would be very sad :(

Meanwhile, I've started a new bit of yarn bombing... not so interesting this time, just two colours in a patter, but I might add some writing afterwards :)

GLOVES!!

At last I have created myself a pair of long gloves!! Sadly, they do not have the triforce imprinted on them so I could look like Princess Zelda, but maybe next time!

I did make two, but one hand was busy taking the photo, so you can only see one in the picture :3 The pattern was based on one by http://sweaterscapes.com/glove-pattern.htm but I altered it to make fingerless gloves.


They came out far too tight though - I guessed the amount of stitches because I was using different needle sizes to those suggested. They still fit, but are a little tricky getting on and off!!

This was my first project using double-pointed needles (see my last post) so that was a challenge! I feel quite confident using them now, after making such long gloves!! Can't wait to wear them tonight when I meet up with my family :)
