Trail Gloves

P4040022, originally uploaded by alicen.

I made these gloves for Tom to take on the Appalachian trail, which he leaves for next week. He wanted something wool, but didn't specify that they had to be serious...

(The wool is hand-dyed too - my first foray into dyeing yarn. Probably not something I'd use normally, but you never know. And the white swirly bits are made of some of the very first yarn I ever spun myself.)

A while ago (like in January), I made this robe/coat thing that I wear all the time. It still needs pockets and a clasp, but I've been using it so it's probably worth posting pictures.

Back:

Note the pointyness! I have plans to add a bell to the end.

Hood:

I am seriously bundled up here. It hangs better in real life.

I don't update enough anyway.

This sweater's been languishing forever. Jess "models" it here.

More pictures of stuff I've been making are available here. It's updated a hell of a lot more often than this blog.

Pink Elephant boxers

I made some very silly boxer shorts for Tom. I don't think anyone is as amused by them as the two of us, though. One of the elephants holds a very small, embroidered martini. Another shot is here. I also made a pair with aliens. I highly recommend this for instant-gratification sewing.

Teaser shot for the thing I made last weekend. It is part sweatshirt, part wizard's robe. It needs a bell still.
