Teeny Tiny #7: One week down, 51 to go!

So this little pair looks a lot littler than it really is.  It stretches a lot because I put three+ cables on it.  So I think it would still fit a small foot. 

Teeny Tiny #5

I was feeling even more whimsical when I started this little pair.  I'm trying not to make two from the same yarn yet, since I have such a vast yarn stash, so I selected a white acrylic with lurex for some sparkle.  These started out looking as if I was knitting Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas. :)

Teeny Tiny #4 And a hint of the day...

Here are the fourth in my teeny tiny sock series!  I was feeling elfy, thus the little flippy thing off the back and the fern cable pattern.  :)

Here I am! A new blogger! (knit gloves)

Hello world!  I am Amy.  I'm a grad student in biochemistry and an avid creator.  Sometimes I think I'm in the wrong place, but I'm going to stick through it and see what happens.  My true love is my creativity, but something's got to pay the bills, right?

So while the name of my blog includes 'sewing' this is not going to be strictly sewing.  I dabble in far too many artsy craftsy things, so I will be posting any and all of my creations.  Lately I have been sewing and knitting, but I have also just picked up spinning.

As my first post, I am going to show off a pair of mittens I am working on.  I got two balls of mini mochi rainbow sock yarn and found a cool pattern for it.  I only get chances to knit in classes and in my borrowed spare time (I don't sleep nearly as much as I should...).

I've never made gloves before, so I figured I'd start fingers down!
 

I thought I had pictures of the in between stage when I added the thumb and fingers, but it turns out not.  Instead, here's the mostly finished back side:

Palm side:

I couldn't figure out what I wanted for a cuff, so I went with I-cords and cables:

The cuff is slit on the thumb side of the wrist and I made I-cord loops and knots as closures.  I'll post the completed gloves when they're finished.  I have been writing down the pattern, so I'll post that as soon as this first one is finished!

Until then, I hope to continue blogging and showing you my pieces.
