Can anyone knit DS1 some stripy rainbow gloves?

[MyGhostIsFlummoxed]

DS1 (4.8) wants striped rainbow coloured gloves. I can't find any, could any of my crafty MN friends knit gloves or mittens for him? I'll pay for yarn, time & postage

I am tagging on here Ghost because I would also like similar and can't find anyone on Facebook to do it. I want some of those knitted "cuffs" you know....the ones that are just sleeves with no fingers? Wrist warmers I think they're called.

knitters! We're waiting!

I found all these on Etsy, some might be suitable for you Claws? Couldn't see quite what I was after though so posting on here.

Yep I can do it

I do a fair amount of commissioned knitting. I don't have a website or anything though...

That would be awesome if you could Caulkhead. How much do you normally charge?

£3 per 50g of "normal" wool. So gloves would be about £5-6 depending on how big they were.

If you wanted them cabled and laced then it would be different, but this sounds like normal wool and normal knitting.

Having wool that is already striped saves buying all the colours.

Not sure what happened to my link there...

But will that wool give stripes or more of a mixed up colours appearance?

Should be striped. I'll see if anyone I know has it and ask them.

Jojo

This is a good option, its Wondersoft Merrygoround by Stylecraft and available at Deramores in 100g balls.
The Robin paintbox is not self striping, it has a dappled effect.

I'm very happy to make them, either with seven separate colours, or some self striping wool.

He definitely wants stripes, if you could let me have an estimate of cost Caulk that would be great

I could definitely do them for £10 for mittens or £12 for gloves (more wool, takes slightly longer).

They'd take me about four hours to do, so could have them with you by Thursday?

That would be amazing thank you. He'd prefer gloves. What's the best way to pay you?

Ok no problem. Would PayPal be ok? I'll pm you the details.

Yes paypal is fine, let me know the details & I'll PM my address.

Really appreciate this.

Does the £12 include postage etc?

4 hours! Wow, am in awe of your speedy knitting skills! That would take me weeks...

Yes to postage. They'll be light and i have masses of jiffy bags. Assuming you don't mind a bag that has been used before!

Just - I knit ALL the time. Pretty sure I can knit quicker than I can type now. That's not a stealth boast, as typing would be much more useful than knitting most of the time. I do a lot of socks and gloves so knitting in the round is pretty quick now.

Payment sent (I hope!)

Got it, thanks :)

I have knitting envy

Been meaning to try gloves for a while. If I start soon I might finish them in time for next autumn!!
