Mini gloves were a mini project that was completed in a night because I just really wanted to. The project was inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons podcast called Advantage. It’s one of many podcasts that I started listening too, but it’s one that I really enjoy because they have fantastic storytelling.
One of the characters that the four players have been running into recently is a member of the Hundreds and Thousands (i.e. fairies – I think). His name is Orlander and he’s been both a pain in the butt and useful to the players. At some point, one of the characters promised to knit Orlander mittens for winter. So I decided to make some tiny mittens for this imaginary creature. I found some patterns on Ravelry and sort of fudged something together.
One of the reasons for doing this was that I really wanted to finish a knit project. But the other reason was that the makers of the podcast really enjoy their fans. This podcast, together with another that I listen to called How Friends Roll, have started a mutual Discord (Discord is a free communication platform). I’m a member of the Discord and have enjoyed other fan-art too. So I decided to contribute in one of the few ways I know how to, by knitting. It was well received, so I enjoyed both the knitting and the reactions.
Hopefully Creative
