I finished a project
Technically it is only half, but I can still wear it on one hand. It does bring flashbacks of Michael Jackson, but I don’t think anyone else notices. :o)
Pattern: Snowflake Fingerless Gloves, from Knitting Fair Isle Mittens and Gloves.
Yarn: Knit Picks Palette in Ash, White, and
Gauge: 7.5 sts per inch in fair isle pattern
Notes: This is my first fair isle work ever! It went pretty quickly, although I was only working on it at random times between other projects. There was one problem I had with the pattern, but I didn’t take notes and cannot remember what it was. I did have to change the width of the pattern to fit my hand, but not by much. My hands are on the small end of average, so I imagine if your hands were bigger you would have to do more math to figure out thumb placement and such for alterations.
Way to go! That is some lovely looking fair isle. (In high school, I used to wear just one fingerless glove all the time. I was a teenager and it was the 80s. And I was a dork.)
