Finally some FOs to post about.... I whipped up a pair of Fetching Fingerless Gloves for the Bingo prize for DD's NHS service project. These were a really quick project.
They have an interesting picot bind off -- it seems to me to be off by a stitch. I think the picots would look better if they were centered over the purl columns, but I can make that adjustment next time. Since I didn't know who might receive these and how they might feel about hand washing, I made them from some washable Lion Wool-Ease that was in my stash. I wouldn't mind having a pair for myself.... more stash diving maybe?!
And here's a quick snap of the white cotton pullover. I intend for this to be worn under a jacket, therefore no sleeves to get bound up and aggravate me. It looks kind of curvy on the hanger!
I am thrilled to have found time to knit!

What a nice bingo prize!
The cotton top is really cute, should be great under a jacket.
The pullover looks great! Did you use a particular pattern?
Love the white top!
I made Fetching for my DIL last Christmas. I left off the picot top -- I thought it made the gloves flare out too much. I actually ended up decreasing about five stitches around the top to pull them in a tiny bit, and I liked them much better that way.
Hope you enjoy your weekend!
