More craftiness.

I bought some Dickensian fingerless gloves from “jmillen” on Etsy. She cut the sleeves off of a wool sweater, felted them, and sold them to me for $6.

When I got them today, they needed thumb holes cut, as advertised. They were also pretty ill-fitting, being felted and lacking the sexy curves my wrists naturally have.

So, I made thumb holes, created an angle on the wrist, and tailored the arm seam. I’ve had them on for hours now, and they are indeed quite relaxing!

^_^

Here is the finished product, with before-and-after pics after the jump

INSIDE OUT:

I may someday feminize them with flowery appliqués or embroidery or something — or I may not.

I’m a bit tempted to sew them onto the arms of another sweater, if I could find one with a matching palette.
