Off of the Hook - Cashmere and Silk Fingerless Gloves

While traveling by car Tuesday to Nashville, Tennessee for a family road trip, I took along a crochet project that I had just started; a 10/J bamboo crochet hook and a muffin of some light blue recycled sweater cashmere and silk yarn (see 70% Cashmere post).  Off of the hooks came two fingerless gloves, a matching set.  I added matching motifs to the back of each (top of hand) with a big eyed plastic needle and the same cashmere and silk yarn.  There is much more yarn, so there may be a matching scarf in the very near future. I have been collecting glove molds for some years now, and they are the perfect models for my fingerless gloves don't you think? They were very cooperative! 

Lexington, Kentucky Fiber Fest Road Trip - NOT!

I hope everyone who was able to attend the Kentucky Fiber Fest this weekend in Lexington had a really great time!  I was so excited to attend.  I even took off from work to make the trip. And then...I didn't get to go.  I was somewhere between sad, mad and raging!  Maybe next year...
