Knitting again!

Another year, another gift needed. This time for Sophie, Tom's partner who's birthday it is today I am afraid so I am rather behind schedule due to some excuse I am about to think up...... Oh yes I didn't have the correct needle size. I'm sure she will love these lacy gloves when completed, ETA one week. They are in Baby Alpaca Silk, lovely soft wool and supposed to be completely non-itchy.
The good thing about this pattern is that it is knitted in the round and so there is no sewing up to do at the end, always rather a tedious job.
I will let you know how well they are received in due course.
