Fingerless Gloves

Over the winter I made Edward and I each a pair of fingerless gloves.  I'd bought some angora yarn without an real idea what I would do with it, but it was a nice color.  It was hard to work with though.  It didn't like to pull out if I made a mistake.  And there were a lot of mistakes in the making of these gloves.

Edward's were the first ones made.  The palms are double strands.  I made them both at the same time switching from glove to glove so they would be the same.  Didn't really have a pattern for them.  Not that I didn't look for some, and use them as a guide.  But for the most part, I made it up as I went along.  Once both palms were made I started on the fingers...  about 4 times.  They were single strand so they wouldn't be to thick.  After that I turned them around and started making them longer, with a flap in the back. The buttons were from an old shirt Edward had. He got a little use out of them before it got warm.

  

After Edward's gloves I started a second pair, a little smaller.  Started the same way with, the palm, only they were only from the thumb up. Once I had stitched up to the fingers I turned it around and started down.  Once it was long enough, I made a cuff, and then worked on the fingers.

We didn't get much of a chance to use them after they were finished.  It got warm shortly there after.  But the good news is come next winter, we'll be ready.
