Gloves Galore!

So I was asked to do a series of gloves for SLCitizen so that's what I've been up to since last we spoke. And man have I been busy! Lets see what's been on my hooks shall we?

This pattern is based off of Sue Norrad's design. I took off the fingers and the mitten top, left the thumb and there ya go! Its really easy and the perfect pattern for beginning glove makers. You can find it on Ravelry too, or Sue's website.

Next up is the Orchard Glove that was in Interweave's Fall issue. Its really easy (designed by a 16 year old no less!) and fun to do. Its got a spiked single crochet in it which adds a little extra umph to the pattern. It also makes the stitches pop out. I love this pattern. I make these gloves all the time.

Last, I made a pattern of my design. Its basically a tube with a thumb hole :) but it's warm and its ridiculously easy. When I have time, and I don't have a boyfriend glaring at me for wasting his tv watching time I'll post it.

I'm sorry about the poor picture quality on all the photos. The camera did NOT want to cooperate!

Anyway, That's what I've been doing! Hope all is well on your hooks!

SLCitizen

So I'm pretty stoked, I'm not gonna lie. I went on Monday to sell my animals and hats to SLCitizen and Matt (the guy running the show) loved the animals. He wants to sell them for $18 a pop and he thinks they're going to do great. He also told me he was going to try and get them put into a magazine article on the co-op that was being written when I walked in! Woo!

Anyway, I think that SLCitizen is a great thing, and its not just because I have stuff in their store. They do the leg work for artists and in a town the size of Salt Lake, that's a tough job. Its a rough business going around with a bag full of stuffed chickens and cows asking people to sell them, and then to get a fair price and to be treated well through the whole process is pretty impossible. Matt and the folks at SLCitizen make it easy for artists to do what they love and get the recognition that makes continuing to create worth the effort.

Also, in exciting news, I have the internet once again, so I will be updating a good deal more and hopefully my wretched spelling mistakes will go away. That last post was almost unreadable and I blame the library in the Avenues for it.

Anyway, Happy Turkey Day! Hope you stuff your faces!
