Finished

I have finished the pattern to the gloves! Hooray!

I have someone doing a test knit for me at the moment, because I want the pattern to be as readable as possible. One of my bugbears is badly written patterns and I wouldn't like a badly written pattern to put people off knitting it. I can't spot any mistakes yet, but sometimes it's hard to see the wood for the trees!

Also, having realised that not everyone likes bobbles, I was thinking that they can be left out (and the stitch just knit) or substituted with a bead. As long as the bead can be thread onto DK yarn, then I'd say it's good. You'd need 44 suitably sized beads in total.

I also need a name for the pattern. I have to be careful because I have a penchant for odd names. I developed a fondness for the name Doris after watching Gavin and Stacey!

In other news, I've decided to move my etsy shop to folksy and undergo a bit of a name change. I've yet to sort through the jewellery I want to put on there yet, so today I will be going through a few bits and bobs and then taking some good photographs. Once I've got the shop up and running with some actual stock, I'll post again with an update.
