0 Keeping Warm

I made some accessories a little while ago and only just lucked out into getting good enough weather for photos!

The gloves are a free pattern on Ravelry called Vancouver Fog.
My project details on Ravelry here.

They turned out a lot longer than the pattern picture, but the extra length has actually been really nice on my frozen hands as I walk to work in the morning!
I can fold them back though and they look nicer that way.  I think it's because I have small hands!

A comparison.

I found these really quite challenging- making cables while working in a small circumference in the round.  I'm not used to either of those things so it took ages!
And don't even ask about the cast on... the pattern recommended a circular tubular cast on.  What a nightmare- I'm still traumatised, and to be honest, I don't even think it looks that amazing for all that effort, lol!

Nice and simple underneath.

I also made this Crochet Cloche, which may I add has a HIDEOUS sample, lol!  I looked beyond for the potential within!
My notes are here on Ravelry.

Okay so be honest guys, does it evoke the graceful 30s vibe I wanted it to, or is it 90s bucket hat? (eew!)

Probably not my favourite thing ever made, but it does keep my head damn warm!

Oh by the way guys, GUYS, I made an important discovery recently.  I hate recaptcha comment verifications so much- and I realised thanks to this post that my blog had those annoying things on it!!  They are removed now, so be free!!  Comment without fear!  I hope to hear from more of you now :)
And guys, don't forget to check your blogs too- recaptchas are a giant nuisance, right??
