I managed to finish these recently. These were the first pair that I had done with finger gussets and it's a bit harder than you would imagine to avoid holes. The fingers are also different lengths, as your fingers would be...something that I did not totally appreciate, hence the second finger came up a wee bit short.
Obviously, they are for someone with bigger hands than me.
I tied a bit of red yarn in the right glove just to avoid getting them mixed up.
They are relatively quick to make but there are a few errors in the pattern.
I did manage a few christmas pressies in the end, but I'm not writing about them until I'm sure that they have arrived. Given that I was still going to the post office on Dec 24th and have one more batch to send off tomorrow, there is a strong possibility that I can't write about them until 2008!
Lovely gloves. Happy Christmas and New Year!
Posted by: mrspao at December 29, 2007 09:04 AMNice gloves you have there. One of my resolutions for 2008 will be to make a pair of gloves or mittens.
Posted by: Mandella at December 28, 2007 05:40 PMI'm hiding your blog entry from my DH - he's been asking me to knit him another pair of fingerless gloves for ages. And yes, I do have to mark them to distinguish left from right, despite the thumb gussets. Where did you find that pattern?
Posted by: Helen at December 28, 2007 04:18 PMYeah, I'm from the "Christmas in January" school too :)
Happy New Year Polly!! (nice gloves too!)
Posted by: Debi at December 28, 2007 02:51 AMVery nice gloves, I'm glad you've managed to finish them! I'll stick to Knitters Handy book of Patterns!
