Gloves

I figured it was about time I learn how to make a decent pair of gloves. So I started with a very basic pair.

These are Hebridean 2-ply in Lapwing on 2.25s. They have a wide gusset on the side so both gloves are exactly the same. Then I made these:

These are Hebridean 2-ply in Lapwing, Shearwater and Bogbean in a slip stitch pattern with a 4 stitch repeat:

row 1: k1, p1, s1, p1
row 2: k1, s1, p1, s1

with a color sequence of Lapwing, Bogbean, Lapwing, Shearwater. These have a wide gusset on the palm, so there's a left and a right glove.

 
Both are 64 stitches cast on. Fitwise, I prefer the thumb on the palm but both thumb placements have their advantages when it comes to design. I have two skeins of Kelpie, which will eventually be made into a pair of fingerless gloves but I lost steam after the second pair so they'll have to wait .
