gloves and in-progress

Here are my finished fingerless gloves and snood.

And here is the first 'in-pogress' present. It's a pair of slippers for my mum's birthday - I can say that as I know she doesn't follow this.

Knitted items and future plans

Here's a quick knit cowl that I made last week. My mum bought me the yarn when she was staying with my brother in Bovey Tracey (he lives there). So whilst mum was staying with me I knitted it up so that she could see what it had become.

As son has broken his big toe, he can't walk far so we aren't going anywhere this Bank Holiday weekend, so I'm planning to use the time to finish off some projects that are in progress. I'm off to get the sewing machine out as soon as I have finished doing this.

I'm also knitting a rather lovely pair of fingerless gloves from the new Rowan book. They have intarsia roses on the arms, here's a sneak preview of the first glove.
