I am very pleased to report this week that my plan to clear out the existing YoP WIPs before starting anything else is going well! Of the four WIPs I listed last Sunday, one is gone (to the frog pond, sadly) and I have made sterling progress on another!

| Please ignore my un-woven-in ends. I will do them when the other glove is complete. |
I have focused almost entirely on the fingerless gloves this week, and to my eternal delight, have finished the right glove.
Thanks to your wonderful advice last week, I forged ahead using safety pins and scrap yarn as stitch holders while I negotiated the tricky task of knitting each little finger tube.
I am so pleased with how this glove has turned out! It's gorgeous, and it fits, well, like a glove. Now to avoid the trap that is Second Sock Syndrome, and remember that I have to knit another one before I can call this project done. Glove one has taken me just over two months... I don't actually need them till Easter, so I have plenty of time to get the second one finished. More pleasingly, I have just weighed the remaining yarn from the ball, and I still have 28g left, which means I won't need to break into the second ball I bought in case it was needed. Hmmmm, will need to find another project for that....
Those are so pretty - I'm looking for a fingerless glove pattern to knit for my mum, I really like this one. I am a MAJOR sufferer of 2nd sock syndrome, I'm hoping to find the cure this year!
ReplyDeleteYour glove is gorgeous, beautiful pattern and a lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really good, I always thought the finger part of gloves look the most complicated...and you have done really well with those bits :D
ReplyDeleteLove the gloves. The pattern looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteoh that is lovely! The colour and pattern are perfect for one another. Looking forward to seeing the pair!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting it finished, and it really is lovely. I love the yarn and pattern together
ReplyDeleteSomeday, I will do fingerless gloves.....but not any time soon (I have too many of my own SIYOP things going on and none of them are gloves or mittens).
ReplyDeleteSo pretty; you must be thrilled! And that first glove certainly looks like it fits perfectly! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks great! You did way better on the fingers than I ever have, they always look weird when I do them.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, your first glove is so pretty, I'm not surprised you are pleased....now crack on like you said with the second one.!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I a am so glad you forged ahead and have this beauty to show for it. I am so afraid of the "second" syndrome in my own life, especially where sock knitting is concerned, but gloves/mitts seem different. I am sure the 2nd glove will go by much quickly for you!
ReplyDelete*smiles*
That looks fantastic! The stitch pattern pops really, really well.
ReplyDeleteLovely. I can't wait to see the pair together :).
ReplyDeleteVery nice glove. The little finger bits look tricky - I couldn't ever contemplate attempting something like that.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous :) Nice job on the fiddly little finger parts, I've only ever made mitts with one opening! I'd suggest casting on for the second one straight away, to avoid second glove syndrome ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous glove! Those fingers look terribly fiddly, but worth the effort :) Good luck with the other one!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!! (That's all!) X
ReplyDeleteWowza. WOWZA. They're a-maz-ing! (said in a Craig Revel-Horwood type fashion)
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrifc glove; it fits your hand so perfectly. And oh boy, that colorway is perfect for that design. Yeah, for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful knit! I love leaf motifs and your mitt is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome! I may have add those to my list.
