Hooray! Fingerless gloves

I have made a pair of fingerless gloves for Big Sis so that she can hold a skipping rope at break time and get some grip. The poor thing got an injury the other week because one handle slipped out of her fully gloved hand and flew up and gave her a fat lip!



The yarn is Millamia and it is super soft yarn, just 
perfect for hands.


The hearts are from Sue at sweetpea family, she sent them last week in my giveaway parcel, I just loved them and wanted to use them straight away before they got lost.


I made the pattern as I went but them realised I had made two left handed ones - anyone else done that?? 

You may be experiencing right now, or remember when your child dressed themselves and thought they looked great in their own choice. She thought so today in a breton cardigan, red collared t-shirt, purple leggings, denim skirt and fingerless gloves!

    Those fingerless gloves are beautiful and those hearts are divine. A wonderful combination.

    I love how they came out. The hearts are a perfect touch. I have to admit that I'm looking forward to my daughter wanting to choose her clothes independently. She can dress herself just fine, and does it every day, but she always wants me to choose the outfit, then I have to admire it after she puts it on. :)

    Those gloves are beautiful Jo, well done, and the hearts are a lovely finishing touch! I love her sense of fashion - I have been known to wear red shoes and carry a purple handbag and always say, "hey, when you get to my age you can do whatever you like!" Yes! Joy xo

    The gloves are just gorgeous Jo and sound very practical for their purpose. I like your girls choice of outfit! My girl chose her own outfit on Sunday and wore a cat costume, with a cape, a pair of deely boppers and stripy wellies...good thing we weren't going out anywhere.
