Beach wrap/throw/coverup

I wanted something to cover me when I went on holiday 2 weeks ago, so I created this wrap. I added detachable straps using buttons, and buttons down the front so that I could do it up as needed.



Camera lens attracts attention

I was looking at things that I could crochet to add to my camera on Ravelry, when I saw a cute teddy bear that simply slips on the lens. So I whipped up a quick one. It's written in US terminology.
Find the original pattern here. Ravelry for the designer.

Fingerless gloves, free pattern



This is pattern done on 2 needles, no DPN!

First glove. I wear it on my right hand.
1 pair size 4mm knitting needles
1 ball 100g wool
1 tapestry needle


This is the yarn I used, although it is the orange-y version http://www.sirdar.co.uk/yarns/fashion/Summer%20Stripes%20Dk Sombrero 315

Cast on 28 stitches. This was just right for my hand, I don’t consider myself to have large or small hands, around average. When adapting the size, make sure to keep to an even number of stitches. As a guide, 24 for woman, 28-32 for a man.
