Fingerless Gloves are Everywhere!

You've probably noticed how popular fingerless gloves are this season! Actually, they are perfect for dialing your cell phone, typing blog posts outdoors on location, or shopping at open air markets and craftshows.



Here are a few more photos showing the styles that I recently designed and knit.


These were knit with Noro Kureyon 100% wool, hand-dyed in Japan. Each skein produces 1 pair of gloves, but each glove will look completely different because of the color sequence.


My little Fiona Xena loves to sit next to the fingerless gloves.
Here are more photos to see the variations of yarn colors.
Please visit Global Knits on Etsy to see more of my hand-made accessories.

Swedish Cuff Pattern

Fingerless gloves are very popular right now! They are very convenient to wear while blogging too! It's great to be able to wear gloves and type!



The cuff pattern is a warm olive green yarn knit with taupe and mocha brown yarn. The stripe design is from a Swedish mitten book from the 1850s!



Fingerless gloves are quicker to knit than regular mittens. They are perfect to make when you want to use up your stash of yarns too!



Here are some freshly made earrings, with peach color faceted briolettes and copper findings.


The background in the photos match the earrings. It is from a greeting card my sister (Karen Harvey Cox) made. The colors of the papers and the earrings match perfectly!

When you think you can't create, keep creating!
