Gloves that look like trees, haha, get it? (By the way--there's nothing to get besides that they're gloves that look like trees.)
They're eventually, after much alteration, going to be a Christmas present for my sister.
Sadly, my first attempt to make this vision a reality is quickly approaching its downfall. The whole knuckle portion is so not knuckle-shaped, and the open stitch I used on the fingers makes the points at the end completely twisted. Not to mention the fact that they don't look as much like trees as I expected they would. I believe when I start freshly from the hand again, I will begin the green earlier (like, start all 5 sections of leaves when the gusset starts) and not go so crazy with the increases. Until then, a hearty frog session is due.
P.S. if you feel inspired, your input is always appreciated. I feel like I'm doing this is a lot more complicatedly than it needs to be.
To close, I got my senior pictures back. I figured I'd exploit my pretty face after alarming you horribly with that wretched post-GWAR photo.

I really like the idea of hand knit gloves. I actually tried to knit little mitts for my sister, they turned out like crap =P
You look really beautiful in your pictures =)
If it's at all any help, the gloves seem very you. And a lovely photo, too. (Though I like the one on the right the most.)
Thank you, girls. emily, keep trying on the mitts! nush, seeing as my sister's gloves are me and my sister is like me only mega-environmentalist, I think it will work. :D
Haha! Go trees! But are you knitting with eco-friendly yarn? You know how nondegradably polymers harm the environment. And I'm sure we've all read about the dangers of cotton farming.
Eek! Well, they're certainly natural, but they aren't vegan (100% wool). And minimally processed yarn is unfortunately very hard to find for cheap. Hopefully she won't mind.
