Hi this is the blog of the barefootbeader at Crystal forest,this is some of the stuff i made in winter,when the lure of all the new yarns and bright colours got me back into knitting and crochet,in a big way.
Buying more yarn than i can ever use, in colours from tropical fish to Kaffe fasset designed autumn colours,kettle dyed in chile peruvian wool,patterns free and paid for,and being bewitched by Jane Thornley and her style of freeform knitting.
The first thing i made was a pair of gauntlets,often called fingerless mitts,i am hopeless with DPNS,set of 4 needles to knit in the round so i crocheted mine,and added beads to make them more special.
I used Cleckheaton 4ply bamboo,bamboo is so soft,i just added and subtracted chains so they fit my arm,so there is no pattern,and i wove some shirring elastic in the upper arms to keep them from sliding down.
I enjoyed this so much,and they are so soft and warm and a little gothic,just my style.
