give the girl a hand!
A round of applause, please. I have finally finished my blue gloves, my first knitted gloves ever! I was so excited about these gloves last winter. I finished the first glove in a day, slowed down a bit on glove number two and then eventually put it down for good with three fingers done back in December. When I was digging through my knitting stuff to find something to bring to knitting group last week, I spotted these at the bottom of the pile and figured it was about time I finished them up.
The yarn was some vintage Sunshine Yarns worsted and the pattern is the basic glove pattern from Ann Budd's indispensable Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns posted by alison at 2:27 pm | in
baby, it's cold outside

Just in time for summer weather. Great looking gloves - hopefully you will be able to find them when you need them. Posted by: Gayle at July 10, 2009 5:02 PMIn light of MJ's recent passing, I'm thinking you coulda made a fashion statement with just the one glove. But two is nice, too. ;^) Posted by: Robby at July 10, 2009 5:56 PMYes, I, too, was thinking that you could knit one glove in honor of Michael Jackson. :) Is there such a thing as Second Glove Syndrome? Posted by: Leslie at July 10, 2009 7:00 PMCongrats! They look great :) Posted by: allison at July 11, 2009 10:34 AMOh, those are perfect to brighten up any dreary winter day! Posted by: Leann at July 11, 2009 5:44 PMBeautiful gloves and they fit perfectly. Are you sure these are the first gloves you've made??? :) Congrats on finishing. I never made my first pair of gloves (yet) so I have glove envy. Posted by: Lynnsie at July 11, 2009 7:28 PMBeautiful! They look like they were complicated. I think I'll stick to mittens! Good job! Posted by: Pom Pom at July 11, 2009 8:34 PMHa ha! But they look fantastic -- sometimes WIPs just have to marinate. Posted by: Valerie in San Diego at July 11, 2009 10:49 PMWhen you wear them I hope you remember the excitement of starting and finishing and forgive them for the midlife ennui. Posted by: Angie at July 12, 2009 3:11 PMI love when you find UFOs that are more nearly finished than you remembered (so often it's the other way around). Posted by: Liz T. at July 13, 2009 7:10 AMGreat gloves. I have a pair on the needles that I need to finish before this winter. I don't want to still be working on them when the snow finally flies. Posted by: Seanna Lea at July 13, 2009 10:12 AMBeautiful! Blue is my favorite color, so I really like yours. Posted by: Jan at July 13, 2009 11:03 AMWow! Those look great! And what a fun project. Nice work :) Posted by: JennC at July 13, 2009 11:46 AMhurray! they are so bright and will sure to come in handy (haha) in the winter! Posted by: laurel at July 13, 2009 1:25 PMNow, that's a reason to like blue! Posted by: Kathode Ray Tube at July 13, 2009 2:32 PM |
. I love them! Which is really too bad, cause that means I'm gonna have to make more gloves. And we saw how quickly that went the first time. Get ready for the sound of one hand clapping....
