I've been meaning to sew myself some [fabric] fingerless gloves/mitts for some time now, "whenever I get a minute" - whenever THAT might be. You know?
I did recently find the time to make these, though:
Is crochet period for the Regency? Eh, one could make the argument. Crochet was developed as early as 1820; the first examples we have are crocheted purses from England. It was originally called "Shepherd's knitting" because the crochet hook was called a Shepherd's hook, and could date 5-10 years earlier in England and Ireland, but nothing 100% documentable has been found. So it's possible. I was going off the idea of netted purses and gloves, and the possibility that someone, somewhere, might have crocheted instead of netting. Maybe...?
I made them to wear with a dress I haven't made yet. Isn't that always the way?
