Thanks to everyone who commented on the Sunrise Circle jacket. I wore it to the Bendy Show on Saturday, and every now and then someone would spot it under my coat and remark on it. (I’m sure I’m not the only person who was identifying people from the bus trip by their knitwear.)

Two nights ago I made myself knit up the second of the Ladylike Lace Gloves. I had lost all enthusiasm over them since encountering all the pattern mistakes and even worse corrections, but I knew if I left it too long I’d forget how and where I fudged to make it work.

The resulting gloves are a bit big, but that’s nobody’s fault. I have narrow hands (to match my feet).

A part of me would like to do another pair, this time making it up as I go so they fit better, but another, larger, part of me can’t be bothered.

Still, I did learn a few things about crochet. I wouldn’t recommend the pattern to a new crocheter, but maybe not even an intermediate crocheter like myself either, because while one could probably work through the mistakes as I have, only an experienced crocheter could do it without getting frustrated and annoyed with the pattern.
