Lady of the Marshalsea Fingerless Gloves with Vintage Buttons

It's that time of year again! I've got my crochet hooks out and I'm busily making warm things for winter. Probably my favorite thing to crochet at the moment is fingerless gloves. I love adding cuffs and buttons and trying to make each pair unique.

These grey fingerless gloves, inspired by Little Dorrit, are now listen in my SHOP. More to come soon. :)

Here are some pictures of Maid Marian's shrug worn by Lucy Griffiths:
