These are the cutest gauntlets I've seen, and believe me I have been searching till all I see are DCs. So a big kudo for you. One question, can these be adjusted for elbow length?

Thank you! And they absolutely can be adjusted for elbow length. I suggest a no chain foundation for that. You can find instructions here... http://serendipity.gpvm.com/no_chain.html then just add repeats of round 2 until you reach the desired length, and repeating the same amt for the second. :D I'd love to see how they turn out!
