Knitting project and Formal dresses

Lately I've actually been doing some creative stuff... but unfortunately I am finding it very boring.

I am researching women during world war 2 who knitted for their soldier friends, and got stuck half way through a tricky glove pattern on double-pointed needles:
I am now working on some 'wristlets,' the authentity of which I am beginning to doubt with its simple and drastically boring pattern. at the moment it is a block of ribbed knitting... or whatever you call it.


Meanwhile, I went shopping for my school formal dress!! I found a fantastic vintage dress and got it at a very cheap price too! However I have been convinced out of wearing it for its classic look, and am now searching for a more fun modern dress. Better get a move on before all the good ones are gone!!! However this is my exam week, so I may have to wait a while...

    of course, if you decided then that's different, but seriously. It's your choice.

  2. True - you should wear it if you want to!!

    The gloves/wristlets look great - I didn't even know that you could use dpns!
