Finished my "Alice" gloves

So I have finished the gloves now, I am pretty pleased with them overall.  They are available to buy from Walnut Baby on Etsy

OK, they look a bit bland when they are just lying flat - but I think they look very pretty on.

I think adding the shiny buttons adds another element to the gloves, makes them a little more special.

I think these particular buttons are a great find.  They are available from Totally Buttons

Alice inspired fingerless gloves

I am always looking for new inspiration for things to make, so when I went to see Tim Burtons adaptation of Alice in Wonderland & noticed her little fingerless gloves ... I thought I could make those :)

My interpretation is to create the stripes with blocks of solid & lace crochet

and they have to have some pretty little buttons.

I just love these sparkly ones.

If you like these gloves/wrist warmers the pattern is available at my Etsy shop Walnut Baby
