Gloves! Like my icon, but different!

[thrihyrne]

This is my first foray into paid knitting, a wonderful happenstance that occurred so that I'm knitting a pair of fingerless gloves for dreambastion, a friend from Portland. So both for her and you all, here's one completed glove. The yarn is yummy, mostly cotton as she's allergic to wool. The cables really stand out in cotton.







In other me news: more crazy dreams. Two nights in a row that featured snow; should look into that symbolism. My Lord John/Hector story is nearly complete, the one I'm writing for lgbtfest. It'll be posted June 15th. And I heard back about my Wraeththu compilation story; it rightly needs more grit, and basically more substance. The sequel for it is much more stand alone, but I'm looking at this as a challenge to really improve it.

And you all?

Those are GORGEOUS! They look warm and cozy and dry.

Um. Might you be considering any more orders...?

Those are really lovely!

So has the story been accepted for the compilation and you just need to work on it? If so, you're the second person I know who's got a story in and I'm soooo admiring and envious!

The gloves look wonderful!

Congrats on the Lord John/Hector story!

And good luck on the compilation fic! I know it will be stellar!!

*hugs*

Talk to you soon! <3

Hobo gloves! <3 They look awesome. (And are very useful if you're in a marching band.)

It's a pretty good pattern, though I did modify it a fair amount as it wasn't written up very well. I'd love to knit you a pair! Would you want wool or cotton? And I'm guessing you wouldn't need them for summer… :) Let's chat! Or write. You know what I mean. ♥

From one artisan to another, thank you!! :D

Yes, my story was accepted a while ago and I knew it needed work, but I really wanted to wait and hear somewhat specifically from one of the two key editors before going to town on it. Thanks so much! You'll be in for a treat if you get a copy. Mine's super short and not a highlight (and I'm not being conceited) but at least one other I've edited is really unforgettable.

Thanks, m'dear! One more section on the John/Hector and then a very short memoriam that will be a direct quotation from one of the books.

I'm really, really anticipating my visit, both because it's right after your birthday (and I have an idea for that, but not until I'm visiting!), but also because I want your help in revising the story. And/or if I've done some revising, I'd like to read it aloud to you.

I'm calling you THIS EVENING. ♥

Indeed! Thank you very much! They're great to be able to type as well. ;)

Great gloves. Love the fingerless variety. I'm glad you finally heard about your Wraeththu story. I'm sure you'll get it in shape.
Hugs

EEEEEEEE!!! Hon, they look FABULOUS! I can't wait to see them in person!

Also sent you a private message as we still need to discuss the payment... lol

I like the pattern for these and will doubtless make myself a pair, but in wool.

I had a long diatribe in my head about the fic, the sequel, was it worth it, etc. etc. and then took a sleeping pill, lol!! So I've printed it out with Wendy's edits, her thoughts, and I'm going to darken/bleaken it somewhat. That should help.

(((hugs)))

I'm so glad you like!! I'll be starting on the other glove tonight. I've loved working with the yarn and fixing up the pattern, which wasn't all that well written. Thrilled to have been able to knit for you!!
