I’ve been longing<\/em> to share these… but, y’know, it was Christmas, and they were for<\/em> Christmas, and she’d’ve seen.<\/p>\n

So I’ve had to sit on them (not literally, though I guess that’s a potential new way of blocking?)<\/p>\n

The story.<\/p>\n

My sister<\/a>, an artist (amongst other things, in a multi-talented, envy-provoking fashion), London-dweller and she of the chilly wrists, asked me for some fingerless gloves for Christmas.<\/p>\n

I knew they had to be delicate, as is she. And she wanted long cuffs.<\/p>\n

Being newly in possession of some Bloomsbury DK<\/a>, I figured it would be perfect for the job.<\/p>\n

A spot of horseshoe lace, some hand-dyed merino wool, a few eyelets, and voila! The Sophisticate Mitts<\/a> were born.<\/p>\n
