Thank you everyone for your great suggestions on baskets and cashmere yarn for gloves! I did try Colourmart but couldn't find my color; it is good to know that their stock changes so I will keep checking back.
I still plan to get you the free colorwork scarf pattern for you soon; I just need to grab DH to model it. I also have a mitten FO to photograph this weekend.
I'm reconsidering my decision to publish a second glove booklet with step-by-step photos for beginners using both dpns and circular needles. My original Glove Knitting booklet recently received a poor review on Amazon HERE (unfortunately it is the only review). One thing the reviewer was unhappy with was the cost of the booklet and I do understand - pricing is always a struggle for me. The print costs are really high for self-published color booklets and I've often thought of not offering print booklets at all. For a $14.99 booklet sold in print I make between $1 and $2 dollars on Lulu and on Amazon. I just can't do the beginner's glove booklet economically as I have so many photos and it would be difficult to keep the page number below 40 pages. Currently I'm putting it off indefinitely.
