I finished a pair of fingerless gloves from Knitty this morning. Although they look like different sizes, they aren’t. It’s just that I’ve tried on the one on the left a few times. I’ll wash them and they should end up the same size. If I had to make this pattern again, I wouldn’t do the cables at the top – it opens the glove up too much. Instead I’d just do a k1/p1 ribbing.
One more Christmas present down. If I have time I’ll do a matching scarf. Not holding my breath on that one.
they look great! 🙂 I think it’s actually the picot bind off that makes the them open up — I used a crochet picot bind off and the ones I made don’t open up the way I have noticed others. http://www.fiberfetishist.com/?p=394
I do wonder why that bind-off was chosen for that pattern, but I used it anyway (I’m a follower….). I still enjoyed the pattern very much. Now if I could just get the finished pieces back from the friend who borrowed them….
I may have to try this pattern, I have the yarn!
I did it, I made a pair yesterday for a Christmas gift! Woo hoo!
