Fingerless Gloves
I’ve been looking forward to finishing the Fingerless Gloves from the book I’ll be reviewing in a few days. I had a great time knitting them, in part because the author has a really neat way of guiding you through the design process. Here’s my creation, based on the project guidelines in the book.
I made the ribbing extra long to keep my wrists warm as I take photos. I also crocheted a little border around the thumbholes to give them a bit of extra support.
These will be living in my camera bag so they’ll be at hand when I go out on cool mornings to shoot wildlife (we’re talking pictures) and flowers.
I used odds and ends from my stash. The yarn smorgasbord includes Knit Picks Merino Style and Swish DK, Mission Falls 136 Merino Superwash, and a smidge of Rowan’s RYC Cashsoft DK.
[Many thanks to hubby Steve who once again patiently played the part of knitwear photographer for the shot of me in my gloves!]
they look great! making tme extra long is a good idea – i have one pair of similar thing (from a shop) and it is priceless to have warm wrists, especially when sometimes one wears things with sleeves that are not very long.
