Fingerless Gloves

Today, a set of related Q & A from my "Ask Me Anything" post --

Pink or purple? (from Mark at The Rambling Person)
See above photo.

Did you knit the purple gloves yourself? (from Linda)
Alas, no. I am the World's Worst Knitter. If you want to read about my one and only disastrous knitting project, click here.

What is the question you're dreading being asked? (from Julia at Life, yoga and other adventures)
This next one:

Are those your hands? (from Psychelin at Life . . . Here and There or Somewhere Else)
Ever since I started blogging in September 2008, I have used the above photo as my profile icon. Although everything on my blog is (more or less) true, I do blog anonymously. So I needed a photo that did not reveal my identity.

But now it's True Confessions time . . . yes, I confess . . . I confess . . . those are not even my hands, much less my gloves. I simply chose the photo off the internet because I liked the purple Celtic cable-stitch fingerless gloves.

Wanna see a photo of my real hands wearing a pair of green Celtic cable-stitch fingerless gloves?

See? I don't really have long and slender (if somewhat bluish) fingers. No, I have stubby chubbies and a broad palm. But baby, I can still work magic with them! * wink *

FYI, these beautiful gloves were handcrafted by Sarah Sullivan, who blogs at Cottage Garden Studios and whose Etsy shop is found here.
