Does anyone know someone who'd knit on commission? I need a pair of gloves but I can't find a suitable pair anywhere.

it's a forum for knitters, or you could try www.etsy.com
it can take a bit for the registration to go through though
if you want I can put in the commission for you
I'd just need to know what kind you need
however knitting isn't particularly hard, if you have the time it might be worth doing it yourself, especially if they're fingerless, if you can find yourself a local knitting group and ask somoene to teach you, or even ask at the local yarn store they could find someone,
it's also very stress relieving and great to do on public transport

I'd do it but I'm run off my feet writing a book on dollfie knits, so they have filled in my knitting store, but a great pattern...... I'm very easily distracted
my other knitters (snicker) are all half way through human sized sweaters, so the problem is that you'd join the queue and be done either as they don't want to work on their UFO or afterwards.

second thought I can do it for you
but i'll need the pattern and the yarn, also when you need them by
I'm almost finished the hanbok sweater I'm working on and after that I have a sort of gap (I'm waiting for the yarn) before i start the next project and some normal scale knitting will be a nice diversion (I've been working in miniature for ages, the last human sized thing i did was a baby yoda hat which still needs to be felted)
I'm guessing that they're the dave armlets, and so don't have fingers (not hard to knit but a pain to sew)

what I'm happy to do instead of being paid or what not is you can make Vedra a cosplay, she's wearing star trek at the moment, no hurry and I can supply you with her measurements and whatnot (blank patterns you can adjust if you need them)
but i will need to know what kind of yarn you need, thin thick, hairy not hairy, light, cool, warm, heavy etc if you can wear natural sheeps wool (I can't, too scratchy) or you need synthetic fibres, machine washable? that kind of thing,
don't worry it's not as complex as it sounds, you go, i need something light for summer wear and can wear scratchy, don't mind handwashing and I can extrapolate what I need from that. Bear in mind however I am in love with shetland wool at the moment and it's slightly scratchy

My friend anatsuno might, I dunno. She's on ravelry, as well. She's anatsuno at lj and gmail. Do you want me to introduce you?

Oh! Yes please!

In essence I want gloves like these. Can ignore the brown bits at the top and on the fingers because that's leather and I can add them on myself.
