Experiment #2

Recognize the pattern?
Gloves! I've never knit them, so I came to a natural conclusion: find a fingerless mitten pattern to modify-- you know, just for a bit of a challenge.
I really had no idea what I was doing, but I think they're just fine. The first "crotch" between the pinkie and the ring finger is not-so-fabulous, but I figured out how to make the others come out o.k.

Cute! I just bought some fingerless gloves. Hats off to you for actually *making* them.

(pssst, pattern link needs fixing)

Debra said...

Link fixed! Thanks for letting me know.

Stacey said...

those are great!! are you going to cable up the fingers?

Jess said...

Very nice! I haven't knit gloves yet, but maybe this'll be the year.

Catherine said...

Great idea! My friend Amy did the same thing with Fetching last winter - you can check out her version on Ravelry under MamaGrouch or on her blog here: http://www.mamagrouch.com/static.php?page=cablehatgloves

Yours look great!

Very -- ummm -- Fetching! (Sorry.)

Did gloves once to prove I could (to myself, of course), but it'll be a while before I have any desire to do so again. Too fiddly with all those fingers. Talk about second sock syndrome -- how about 7th finger syndrome! (This IS where short DPNs do have an advantage over two circs, I have to say, even as a diehard 2 circ fan.) But it should go faster in Fetching-weight yarn, anyway.

Nice! Pretty yarn.

Now this is the first time I've had even the most remote interest in this pattern. Really cute idea! They look great. :D

Does the Fetching pattern happen to work out so that there are just the right number of ribbed sections to separate into fingers? (I've made so many pair of these, I should know!)

These are going to be so nice once winter rolls around! They look great!

Heh, I haven't made gloves yet either, but am thinking about some this winter. The color you're using looks great. : )
