“The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it WOULD twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing” - Alice in Wonderland

What better name for a pair of socklets that will keep ...

Two years ago I spent a wonderful autumn holiday in the woods of Birnam (Scotland).

The chevron pattern of these gloves mimics the pattern of a feather, and this is carried all the way up into the fingers. Choose a fingering weight wool that is self striping, but with rather quick colour changes, so that you don’t end up with fingers that are half (or even all) in one colour.

Knitting gloves with fingers can be a bit of a challenge. To make it easy for you, these gloves are done in stocking stitch with a bit of garter stitch only – but nonetheless with a lot of effect due to the contrasting yarns and all the pointy bits!
