Knits in China for fall

I found these photos of China Fashion Week on line. There were lots of really creative knits. Here are a few of the more reasonable ones.
Check out the novelties. Lots of colorful fur yarns. Does this mean fun fur is back? I wonder how long it will be before we see these trends here. Since we are 4th world here in PA it may be years. What do you think? Comments are welcome.

Hand dyed Fingerless gloves


I just finished these fingerless gloves. It took me Friday, Saturday and Sunday to knit these while I watched Mad Man Season 1 disk 4 and the Olympics on TV. I hope the person I knit these for likes them. One never knows how a hand knit gift will go over with someone that does not knit. Often they have no idea how long it takes to knit an item. I did not keep track of my time since I was enjoying the knitting challenge. I knitted the first glove twice because The first time I knit it I did not like the pattern after It was almost done.
