Glittery Fingerless Gloves For My Girls

I made these fingerless gloves using cheap acrylic and glittery yarn my daughters bought from Aldi or Lidl (not sure which one as it's been a few months). These mittens are quick enough to make (about 2 hours each for me but I am still trying to improve my knitting speed), and of course, made using a circular needle as I am not a fan of unnecessary sewing. I only had one hand model available for the pictures as my eldest daughter was gone to a friend's house yesterday, so you can see the red gloves being worn by a 9 year-old girl and as they are knitted, they are stretchy and can easily fit a child from 7 to 12 years old.

By the way, these pictures were taken using my new DIY Light Box, who knew it was so easy to take professional-looking photographs?

Girlie Hand Knitted Bag

I knitted this bag out of some lilac and white cotton "Colorado" knitting yarn.

I used the I-cord technique to make the string used to tighten and close the bag, and also for the over-the shoulder strap.

My daughters headband

I taught my 2 daughters how to knit, and they both really love it.

Recently my eldest daughter's class has been knitting once a week, and when she's not stealing from my stash, she spends all her pocket money on yarn!

Here is a picture of the first headband she made all by herself:

One of her school friends showed her how to make the ribbon and my daughter    made it all by herself, including all the sewing.

She since made another one for her younger sister and as we are sponsoring a child with the Worldvision charity, I told her it would be a good idea to also make one for the girl we are sponsoring, as we are due to write back soon.
